Micron and Nanya Tech Develop 2GB DDR 42Nm

Micron and Nanya Technology are working together to develop DDR3 memory device 2 Gigabit (Gb) using process technology DRAM 42 nanometer based on copper.

DDR3 is the main memory technology is used in applications of high-performance computing, including computer servers, notebooks, and desktops. Geometry moves towards smaller process is very important to maintain the efficiency of production costs and provide benefits to customers, including power consumption is lower, the better performance, higher density, and printed a smaller memory.

Power 42nm process make 1.35-volt to standard power more widely used than the 1.5-volt memory from the previous generation. Reducing power consumption is very important today for the server environment, because the cost of power and cooling infrastructure comparable to the cost of their own server equipment. With the increasing demand on the server memory, the memory power consumption is estimated to achieve up to 21-watts per module. 1.35-volt power can provide up to 30 percent savings in these applications, thus reducing both the power and cooling requirements.

Quality faster memory is important to obtain maximum system performance. With shrinking process technology, the new device DDR3 new 2Gb 42nm memory able to perform better achieve up to 1866 megabits per second. In addition, the small print with the memory from 2Gb density DDR3 42nm devices can produce up to capacity 16GB module.

42nm DRAM process technology uses copper metalisasi technology more efficient and reliable, making Micron and Nanya remains at the forefront of process technology improvements. Micron has long known the benefits of copper in helping to increase DRAM, and has continued to utilize and improve the technology for nearly a decade.

When compared with other copper techniques, such as aluminum, copper is known as a better approach can be expanded, reliable and more cost effective for enhancing and improving the geometry of the product performance. When Micron and Nanya continue to improve its technology, moving towards the next 3Xnm process technology, both companies rely on the foundation of their strong copper to deliver quality products and high reliable .
