TSMC Unveils Industry's First Commercial 2.5V 65-Nanometer Multi-Time Programmable (MTP) Non-Volatile Memory Technology

July 2, 2009 -- Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd. today announced the foundry segment's first functional 65-nanometer (nm) multi-time programmable (MTP) non-volatile memory (NVM) process technology. The technology incorporates process-qualified MTP IP blocks jointly developed with Virage Logic. The new technology is the first 2.5 volt MTP process, breaking the heretofore 3.3 volt baseline barrier. It eliminates the need for an external EEPROM currently in many systems applications, thereby reducing power, area and costs while increasing data security. ... read more
