World's first process technology for copper-internal-electrode-based capacitors for high-Speed LSIs developed

Thursday, February 3, 2011 - 10:02 in Physics & Chemistry

Fujitsu Laboratories today announced the development of a process technology to produce capacitors for high-speed LSI chips, which as a world's first employs copper for internal electrodes. The use of copper for internal electrodes lowers the impedance of the capacitor itself, and by mounting the capacitor directly below the LSI chip, impedance from the circuits can also be reduced, resulting in increase of current-flow efficiency by 10 times compared to previously available technology. The new technology is expected to enable the next generation of high-speed computers to operate at even higher speeds.
