The company Elpida Memory, despite the very difficult financial situation continues to enjoy his latest.The Japanese manufacturer announced completion of the 50-nm memory chips type of DDR3.
As noted, the new DRAM-chips are among the lowest in the sector of energy, very small dimensions, as well as high-speed data transfer up to 2.5 Gbps. Chips Elpida can work at feeding the entire 1.2 V, while also supported by running 1.35 V and 1.5 V.
The production of new chips, scheduled for January-March next year, Elpida will use 193-nm immersion lithography, as well as copper interconnect technology. Depending on the operating voltage data transfer speed may vary in a wide range: 800, 1066, 1333, 1600, 1866, 2133, 2500 Mbps. Interestingly, the size of a semiconductor crystal DRAM accounted for only 40 mm 2.
The new DDR3-chip targeted for use in personal computers higher price range. In addition, Elpida is actively pursuing the development of 50-nm chips for digital consumer electronics products, and Mobile DRAM for handheld devices.
