Substantial improvement in the characteristics of processors and microcircuits is reached due to the passage to the new technological standards . However, it is possible to attain some progress within the old technical process, after optimization.
According to elpida press release , the company completed the development of DDR3 memory microcircuits with the density 1 gigabits, which will be released on the optimized version 65 nm technical process. In comparison with the previous version 65 nm technical process, elpida company place on the standard silicic plate with 300 mm diameter up to 25% more memory microcircuits . The prime cost of memory production in this case is located on the 50 nm technical process level, and expenditures for equipment are noticeably reduced.
Those produced on the new 65 nm technical process version DDR3 memory microcircuit will be used in server and desktop market segments . Mass production will start in the first quarter 2010.
