Memory microcircuits producers already use the 50 nm technical process. Increase in the density, a reduction in energy consumption and production prime cost - all these advantages are usually avilable after passage to the new technical process.
Elpida company today declared about the pre-production of new memory microcircuits ( DDR-2 ) with one gigabit density, which with the 65 nm technical process will ensure up to 20% more chips from 300 mm plate , than the corresponding 65 nm first generation chips. This allow to decrease by up to 20% the production prime cost of memory microcircuits on 65 nm technology, and in this case this compgny my skip the passage on 50 nm technology without essential damage , if this is required. In order to compete with 50 nm memory microcircuits from other producers elpida will use its second generation 65 nm microcircuits .
The Mass production of 65 nm microcircuits (using the new technology) will start prior to the end of 2008 At the end of December Elpida will also release the first 50 nm memory microcircuits . The new technical process will allow to create microcircuits with core area less than 40 sq. mm, and to also increase the quantity of chips, obtained from one silicic plate by 1.5 time.
