Qimonda and Nanya Achieved Qualification of 75nm DRAM

Qimonda and Nanya Technology have announced the successful qualification of the 75nm DRAM Trench technology, and of the first 75nm product they are each offering to the market, a 512Mb DDR2 memory chip. This next generation technology platform features minimum structure sizes down to 70nm. The technology and 512Mb DDR2 product have been jointly developed at Qimonda's Development Centers in Dresden and Munich, Germany. Volume production in the new DRAM technology generation has been started at Qimonda's 300mm production line in Dresden.

The 512Mb DDR2 product in the 75nm technology that has now been qualified meets the performance requirements at the maximum JEDEC defined DDR2 speed for high end server and computing applications and demonstrate the capability of the company's 75nm technology for future high speed DRAM products. The introduction of the 75nm technology is not only important for next generation performance requirements but also a further step to improve Qimonda's and Nanya's cost position. Process structures of 75nm further reduce chip size compared to the previous 90nm technology thereby increasing potential chip output per wafer by about 40 percent.
