STMicroelectronics Manufactures 90nm Silicon of World`s First Multi-Standard Disk-Drive Physical-Layer IP STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM) today revealed successful fabrication of the MIPHY (Multi-Interface PHY) Physical Layer interface IP (Intellectual Property) using 90nm technology. This macro-cell, the first to support Serial ATA (SATA) disk drives, as well as applications using the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), Fibre Channel, and PCI Express serial interface standards has been designed by ST`s engineers to be integrated with other functions into a System-on-Chip (SoC) and allow drive manufacturers to reduce costs by building and stocking one IC to operate in multiple drives.
