    CHIPS for EVERYTHING: Britain’S Opportunities in a Key Global Market FRONT COVER (See Paragraphs 4.5 and 4.6)

    HOUSE OF LORDS Select Committee on Science and Technology CHIPS FOR EVERYTHING: Britain’s opportunities in a key global market FRONT COVER (see paragraphs 4.5 and 4.6) 1 The first illustration shows a technician holding a 300 mm wafer of silicon on which several hundred chips will be fabricated. 2 The second is a Cirrus Logic chip incorporating an ARM920T core, enlarged from its actual size of about a centimetre square. Over 600 such chips — each containing tens of millions of transistors — could be fabricated on one 300 mm wafer. 3 The third is an electron micrograph showing the layered structure of a chip built up in the 20 or so stages of the fabrication process. Most obvious are three layers of metal interconnect, but field-effect transistors are visible at the lowest levels towards the bottom left corner. The image is highly magnified. 2002 technology allows the strips of metal interconnect to be no more than 200 nanometres wide, about one five-hundredth of the thickness of the paper on which this Report is printed. At the same magnification, the image of the whole 300 mm wafer would be nearly 4 kilometres across and that of the Cirrus/ARM920T chip would be about 125 metres across. 1 International SEMATECH: Austin, TX, 2001. © Semiconductor Industry Association, reproduced by permission. 2 © ARM Ltd UK and Cirrus Logic Inc USA, reproduced by permission. 3 Image (rights reserved) by courtesy of the Semiconductor Equipment Assessment, an EU-funded project, as published by European Semiconductor magazine.
