Hynix 40nm 1Gb DDR3 to enter mass production in 3Q09
Hynix Semiconductor on February 8 announced that it has developed 1-gigabit (1Gb) DDR3 DRAM built on 40nm process technology. The new 1Gb memory chip meets Intel’s DDR3 DRAM specification compliance and the memory module will be examined for certification by Intel.
The new 1Gb DDR3 DRAM delivers a maximum speed of 2133Mbps (megabit per second) and operates at a wide range of voltage. The mass production of 1Gb DDR3 DRAM using Hynix’ 40nm process technology is slated to begin in the third quarter of 2009, the company said. Hynix’ overall productivity of 40nm 1Gb DDR3 DRAM has increased by more than 50% over its existing 50nm process technology, according to the company. By applying technology of ‘three-dimensional transistor’ architecture, the product minimizes leakage current and further reduces overall power consumption.
