Sitronics-nano

The project Sitronics-nano begun in 2009 was directed to creation of production of microchips of the technology level of 90 nanometers on technology of the French company ST Microelectronics. The production which earned in 2012 is the only project of similar level in Russia and has a strategic importance for technology independence of the country.

On the basis of chips of 90 nanometers chips for chips for GLONASS/GPS navigation equipment, industrial electronics, biometric passports, bank cards, SIM cards and tags of radio frequency identification (RFID) are issued.

History

2014

The Zelenograd affiliated enterprise AFK "Sistema" — JSC NIIME i Mikron — increased in the spring of 2014 to 100 percent the share in the producer of microchips Sitronics-nano. It is connected with transfer of 37.67 percent Sitronics-nano to enterprise which were owned before by Rusnano.

The official representative of Micron Alexey Dianov reported also that Rusnano will receive in exchange for a share in Sitronics-nano of the additional share of Micron. How many stocks of the enterprise will get to Rusnano, Dianov did not specify, having told that it will become known after registration by the Central Bank of the report on additional issue.

According to Dianov, completion of additional issue is planned for the end of May then the report on it at the beginning of June will be transferred to the Central Bank for registration.

2013

JSC NIIME i Mikron, entering into industry holding JSC RTI, the beginning in May, 2013 the procedure of consolidation of production assets. On May 29 the first stage – the redemption of 12.5% of stocks of Sitronics-nano company from JSC RUSNANO for the total amount of 2 billion rubles took place.

RUSNANO is not going to leave business on production of microchips therefore for the 50% packet can receive partially monetary compensation, and partially – stocks of JSC NIIME i Mikron.

2011

The Board of Directors of Russian Nanotechnology Corporation (Rusnano) at the first meeting which took place on March 24, 2011 approved selection of project company "Sitronics-nano" of a loan in the amount of no more than 1.8 billion rubles on condition of attraction of the similar amount by the project company in type of loan from one of commercial banks. Funds from a loan will be allocated for project implementation on creation of serial production of chips with project regulations of 90 nanometers, says Rusnano.

Let's remind that the investment agreement on creation of serial production of integrated circuits on the basis of nanoelectronic technology was signed with project regulations of 90 nanometers between Rusnano and AFK "Sistema" in October, 2009. It was going to create production based on project company "Sitronics-nano" using infrastructure of the Mikron plant (is a part of JSC Sitronics which largest shareholder is AFK "Sistema"). It was supposed to issue integrated circuits with project regulations of 90 nanometers on plates with a diameter of 200 mm on technology of the Swiss producer of semiconductors of STMicroelectronics.
