Story
Elpida has announced beginning mass production of 1Gb and 512Mb DDR2 SDRAM using 70nm technology. Manufacturing will be done at its main facility, Hiroshima Elpida Memory.
According to Elpida, this SDRAM using 70nm process technology can be used in several applications, including high-performance mobile equipment, high-definition TVs (HDTVs), next-generation DVD recorders, digital single-lens reflex cameras, as also high-end servers needed to process large amounts of data.
The same technology that has given Elpida high yields from its 90nm process technology is being applied to the development of this more advanced 70nm process technology.
The 70nm process technology not only facilitates 800MHz and 1GHz speed functionality in combination with high-performance operations, but it also makes for a reduction in chip size allowing more chips per DRAM wafer thus increasing productivity.
Production of DDR2 SDRAM using the 70nm process has already started, and the first product shipments are expected to begin in Q1 of 2007.
