16 December 2008 Japan: Fujitsu Laboratories Develops Power-Saving CMOS Technology for 32nm-Generation and Beyond
Kawasaki, Japan, December 16, 2008 – Fujitsu Laboratories Limited announced today the development of power-saving CMOS technology for logic LSI chips for 32 nanometer- (32nm-) generation and beyond.
