Parhellia to use SI-28

[forgiven]

I have heard that there may be a possibility that the new card may use Isotopically pure silicon. Has anyone else heard this or can confirm this I will be forever in your debt.

Thanks

It's been announced that Matrox is using the UMC process for the Parhelia; .15u process in 8 layers.

What makes this interesting is that UMC's current .15u specs say they can do up to 7 layers. Hmmm.....

Anyhow, here's UMC's spec page for their .15u process;

What's also interesting is that UMC just completed their .13u copper fab plant and is staffing it as we speak.

Do you have a link regarding this? Does it matter?

The only things I am putting together:

1st as you probably figured I am a ISON (Isonics) shareholder...patent holder for Isotopically pure silicon in the use of semiconductors.

2nd AMD and ISON have been working together for about 2-3 years.

3rd UMC and AMD have been working together as of late and so is Matrox and the above foundry...there is more.

4th ISON has just recently sent chips using some form of their technology to the end user. AMD is giving out part numbers for fanless chips.

Lastly Matrox is working at MHZ and layers that don't seem conventional for standard silicon so I started asking questions here to try and dig up something.

As I said I am a shareholder so these are unsubstantiated RUMORS AND GUESSWORK...Do your own DD if you decide to look into ISON further...real sleeper with big upside but VERY RISKY.

I would think the cost of making isotopicaly pure Silicon would easily outweigh any perfomance benefit.
They would not be shares I would be buying

That s my 2cents.

I better go sell my shares, but before I do what do you base that on, and how much do you figure it adds per chip. Obviously there is a sucker born every minute, so give me a little help here versus it won't work...bad investment.

From what I've read Si-28 runs out of steam as the die gets smaller than .13u.

Companies like UMC have processes as low as .07u in their roadmaps for 2005, so it doesn't look promising for sure.

Dr.

where did you see this? I have not stumbled across such. Do you have a link or remember the reference material?

Thanks
