20 Nm DRAM
Samsung Electronics unveiled on March 11 that it will be the first to mass produce 20 nm 4Gb DDR3 DRAM starting this month.
The company said the 4 gigabit double data rate-3 (DDR3) modules using 20 nm class technology will be used in a wide range of computing and mobile applications. Manufacturing productivity for the chips is over 30 percent higher than that of the 25 nm DDR3, and twice that of the 30 nm classes.
Korea’s number 1 chipmaker said that it will continue to make efforts to produce 10 nm class DRAM in the future and maintain its technological lead in the sector.
“We will grow the low-power consuming 20 nm DRAM to a mainstream product in the PC and mobile application markets through rapid distributions in those markets,” said Jun Young-hyun, executive president of the memory sales and marketing division, adding, “We will contribute to the global IT industry by launching the next generation large-capacity DRAM and green memory solutions down the road.”
According the market researcher Gartner, the global DRAM market is expected to reach US$37.9 billion in 2014, up 6.4 percent from the US$35.6 billion posted a year earlier.
