|
|
March 17, 1998 (TOKYO) -- NEC Corp. chief engineer Akihiko Morino
laid out an image of the future for microchips from 2000 to 2010
at the opening session of the International Forum Semiconductor
Technology '98 held March 9-10 in Kyoto.

As an example of a microchip in 2000-2003, he introduced a
single-chip digital TV-receiver device. It will use 0.18-micron
design rules and accommodate 250 million transistors in a single
chip measuring 15mm x 15mm.
Its power supply voltage will be 1.8V and power consumption will
be 3W.
It will integrate functions such as a microprocessor, frame
buffers using a 64Mb DRAM and an analog to digital converter.
As an example from 2005-2010, he introduced a single chip for
multimedia personal computers. It will use 0.1-micron design
rules and integrate 2 billion transistors onto a chip measuring
10mm x 10mm.
Its power supply voltage will be 0.9V and power consumption will
be 5W.
Functions such as a microprocessor, an MPEG2 encoder and decoder,
a 1Gb DRAM, secondary cache memory and LCD controllers will be
integrated onto the single chip.
