Infineon tests mobile phones based on 65-nanometer circuitry

Microprocessor maker Infineon has successfully completed tests of mobile phone chips built with tiny 65-nanometer circuitry. And they claim that such mobile phone products can be ready for retail sales by the end of the year.

The company developed these new chips in collaboration with IBM, Chartered Semiconductor and Samsung Electronics. The technology places more than 30 million transistors on a space of 33 square millimeters.

They have already built technology to develop mobile chips using90 nanometers circuitry. The products based on this technology are arriving in the market in summer this year.

Infineon is the second company to announce a move to 65-nanometer technology for such chips. Qualcomm has already developed similar technology in the recent months.

The company believes that these advancements in technologies should make phones more efficient and cheaper to produce. In addition, batteries powering these mobile phones would be lighter and smaller.

Infineon said in a statement: “This new technology features high performance at low power consumption and is the most advanced semiconductor technology for logic circuitry that Infineon is currently preparing for mass production.”
