San
Jose, CA, June 23, 2005‹ SiliconPipe,
Inc., of San Jose and Nano Cluster Devices, Inc., have
signed a Letter of Intent to jointly develop novel
conducting structures to be used in high-speed semiconductor
packaging and metallic-based interconnect designs.
"We have identified key application areas where we can use the methods developed
by Nano Cluster Devices to create circuit elements from self-assembled atomic
clusters which will significantly improve high-speed metallic circuit performance," said
Kevin Grundy, CEO of SiliconPipe.
"The combination of SiliconPipe's electronic design expertise and atomic cluster
deposition techniques from Nano Cluster Devices will enable the creation of unique
structures that are impossible to create economically by other techniques", comments
Dr. Simon Brown, Executive Director-Science and Technology for Nano Cluster Devices,
Ltd.
"SiliconPipe is one of the most creative companies we know in the interconnect
business", notes Dr. Alan Rae, VP of Market & Business Development at Nano
Dynamics, Inc., "and they have already developed designs that have pushed the
performance of high-speed interconnection to a point where their technology is
competitive with optical methods. We feel confident that a combination
of Nano Cluster Device¹s technology and SiliconPipe¹s will result in
even higher performance and cost-effective packaging and based-based interconnect
structures that will have widespread applications."
About Nano Cluster Devices Ltd.
Nano Cluster Devices Ltd was formed in early 2004 to commercialize a
unique combination of top down and bottom up approaches to nano-technology. The
key aspect of the technology is that nano-wires can be self-assembled between
electrical contacts without the time consuming and expensive manipulation that
typically hinders the production of nano-devices. Nano Cluster Devices, Inc.,
is a joint venture between Nano Cluster Devices Ltd. of Christchurch, New Zealand
and Nano Dynamics, Inc., of Buffalo, New York. For additional information about
Nano Cluster Devices Ltd., visit their website at http://www.nanoclusterdevices.com.
Nano Cluster Devices Limited has developed novel methods for taking clusters
of atoms and forming them into electrically conducting wires. These wires are
so small they can only be seen with the aid of an electron microscope. They have
a wide range of applications in many of the world¹s multi-billion dollar
industries. A comprehensive Patent Portfolio has been established.
