How a change in thinking led to the development of our low standby power CMOS technology and the story behind the birth of "ultra-thin high-k theory"
How a change in thinking led to the development of our low standby power CMOS technology and the story behind the birth of "ultra-thin high-k theory"

NEC Electronics has developed a 55-nanometer (nm) cell-based integrated circuit (IC) capable of dramatically reducing power consumption. Utilized in this IC is a low standby power CMOS technology that supports extended battery usage in mobile phones and other portable devices. We asked the developers of the first practical application of high-k gate insulation film to discuss their journey to make ultra-thin high-k a reality.
