A new 5-year agreement will focus on the innovation of semiconductors and chiplets for the age of generator
April 2, 2025
Albany, NY and Tokyo,, April 2, 2025 / /Prnewswire/ – Today, IBM and Tokyo Electron (Tel) have announced an extension of their agreement for joint research and the development of advanced semiconductor technologies. The new 5-year agreement will focus on continuous technology progress for new generation semiconductor nodes and architectures to fuel generative AI age.
This agreement is based on a partnership of more than two decades between IBM and Tel for joint research and development. Previously, the two companies have carried out several breakthroughs, including the development of a New laser removal process To produce 300 mm silicon chip slices for 3D chip stacking technology.
Now, bringing together IBM’s expertise in the integration of semiconductor processes and cutting-edge equipment, they will explore technology for smaller nodes and chiplet architectures to meet the performance and energy efficiency requirements for the future of generator.
Mukesh Khare, Managing Director of IBM Semiconductors and VPs of Hybrid Cloud, IBM Research with Toshiki Kawai, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tokyo Electron.
“IBM work and such have done together in the past 20 years have contributed to pushing the technological innovation of semiconductors to provide many generations of flea performance and energy efficiency to the semiconductor industry,” said Mukesh KhareGM IBM and VP semiconductors from Hybrid Cloud, IBM. “We are delighted to continue our work together at this critical moment to accelerate flea innovations that can feed the era of the generative AI.”
“IBM and Tokyo Electron have established a solid relationship of trust and innovation through years of joint development. We are delighted to continue to rely on our long-standing partnership with IBM for five years. This renewed agreement highlights our mutual commitment to advance semiconductor technologies, including motif processes with a high NA EUV.” said Toshiki KawaiRepresentative director, president and chief executive officer of Tokyo Electron Limited. “Our collaboration at the Nanotech Albany complex played a decisive role in conducting innovation and we are impatient to continue this trip together.”
IBM and such are members of the Nanotech Albany complex, the world’s leading world research ecosystem, owned and operated by NY. For years, IBM, such and others have worked together to build the most advanced public-private research center for semiconductors to accelerate flea innovation. Consequently, last year, the site was selected as the first national center of technology of American semiconductors, the NSTC EUV accelerator. As part of this new agreement, IBM researchers and such will continue to work together in Albany using its unique ecosystem and R&C capacities.
