Memory producers try in proper time to transfer production to the more progressive lithographic technical processes in order to reduce energy consumption and prime production cost . The Japanese company elpida yesterday reported the completion of pre-production of two-gigabit microcircuits memory type DDR3 on 30 nm technology.
In comparison with the produced on 40 nm technical process memory, the new generation of microcircuits occupies on the silicic plate up to 45% less place. Furthermore, it consumes up to 15% less electric power under load, and up to 10% less in the standby mode. Epida plans to use this memory in the mobile segment. The deliveries of models on 30 nm memory will begin during December this year, at the same time starts mass production.
