Among the most important semiconductor's producers this year only Samsung and Hynix can state about an increase in the gain volumes . Both companies, produce memory microcircuits .
elpida company yesterday stated that its factory in Hiroshima approached the mass production of DDR 3-1600 microcircuits with density of 2 gigabits on 40 nm technology. For the appearance of first models in the mass production remain only two months. In comparison with 50 nm microcircuit DDR- 3, new two-gigabit 40 nm chips may hold up to 44% more microcircuits than the standard silicic plate. Current strength decreased by 75%, and the energy consumption level was reduced by 50%. The new memory microcircuits can work both with the default voltage 1.2 v or 1.35 v and with the standard 1.5 v.
Later this technology will move to proMOS and Winbond, which are the technological partners Of elpida.
