2 Gb DDR3 DRAM chip jointly developed by Micron and Nanya

Micron and Nanya have jointly developed a 2-gigabit (Gb) DDR3 memory device using their new copper-based 42-nanometer (nm) DRAM process technology. This new DRAM chips works at a voltage of 1.35 V compared to 1.5V for other older generation devices.

The 1.35V operating voltage is expected to provide a savings of up to 30% in these applications.

The 2Gb 42nm DDR3 device can throughput 1866 megabits of data per second. The memory modules up to the size of 16GB can be made using 2Gb chips.

"With the move to 42nm - and with a 3Xnm process working in our R&D fab in Boise - Micron's expertise in copper metallization and proprietary cell capacitor technology has enabled us to stay on the cutting-edge of DRAM process design and innovation," said Robert Feurle, vice president of DRAM marketing of Micron. "The addition of this new 2Gb 42nm device to our DRAM product line strengthens our already rich portfolio of memory solutions for customers' end applications."

"We are very pleased to offer this 2Gb DDR3, the most competitive DRAM device in production, to our customers," said Dr. Pei Lin Pai, vice president of global sales and marketing and spokesman for Nanya. "Nanya plans to serve the server and PC market, as well as the consumer market, with this latest technology device."

Availability: Samples in 2Q2010 and production in second half of the year.
