Hynix Develops 60nm 1Gb DDR2 800MHz Based Modules

Hynix unveils a family of components and high capacity modules, based on the industry's first 60nm 1Gb DDR2 DRAM. Hynix is also the first DRAM supplier to be validated by Intel on the 1Gb DDR2 DRAM component, and modules using this component are under evaluation. The 1GB and 2GB UDIMMs boast operating speeds of 800MHz. As the 60nm process ramps, manufacturing cost of the 1Gb DRAM is expected to decline up to 50% when compared to first generation 80nm technologies. The resulting 1Gb package size will allow Hynix to cost-efficiently manufacture 4GB and higher density RDIMMs and FBDIMMs. Planar dual-row assembly, made possible by the small package size, will eliminate the need to stack components in some modules, reducing overall manufacturing costs. Very Low profile modules would also be enabled by the small package.

The 60nm process based 1Gb 800MHz DDR2 DRAM component and the 2GB module, will go into volume production as the market matures early in the first half of 2007. Hynix will continue to enhance this process for use in future high density DRAM components, and high performance products such as graphic and mobile DRAMs.
