    300mm wafer

    A 300-millimeter wafer containing test SRAM chips made on the 45-nanometer process. The manufacturing technique will be used in mass manufacturing late next year. The test chips typically come out just under two years before mass manufacturing.

    45nm test chip

    A 45-nanometer test chip. It can hold 153 megabits of memory. The top third consists of memory cells. The middle section contains circuits for input, output and other functions. Those transistors are made so that Intel can test how different transistors come out on the new process. The bottom part is a tester.
