Electronic R&D partnership
New York Governor George E. Pataki has announced that Infineon, Genus and the UAlbany Center of Excellence in Nanoelectronics have signed a letter of intent to enter into a $12m, three-year partnership to develop next-generation computer chip memory devices at the nanoscale. "This new partnership is tremendous news for the Capital Region and will build upon our efforts to attract high-tech investments and jobs here and across Upstate New York," Governor Pataki said. This program will bring together additional worldwide technical expertise and state-of-the-art resources in nanoscale materials science and technology to the ever expanding 300mm wafer nanotechnology R&D complex at Albany Nano-Tech (ANT) and its recently created college for nanotechnology, the most advanced such complex of any university in the world. Under the program, researchers and engineers from Infineon, Genus and ANT will work jointly on site at the UAlbany Center of Excellence in Nanoelectronics to develop and optimise atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes for both metal electrode and high-k dielectric materials for sub-45nm DRAM capacitors on a Genus StrataGem-300 300mm wafer bridge cluster tool.
