Hynix Semiconductors, a company specializing in memory semiconductors such as DRAM and NAND flash, announced its decision to focus on Mobile memory instead of Main memory and low voltage operation technology for a green semiconductor industry.
The 1GB DDR3 DRAM is the first product that has been developed by applying the 44nm process and it boasts 50% higher productivity than the current 54nm process products. The '3 dimensional transistor technology' has been applied to this product allowing reduced power wastage by control of leakage currents and secured the position with the fastest operation speed in the industry. This product will be mass produced in the 3rd quarter of this year and furthermore will be applied to 30nm process technology. In addition, this technology will be implemented in mass storage memory modules, mobile DRAM and graphic DRAMs by strengthening the high speed operation and low power wastage of DDR3 products. Hynix has confirmed its top technical level once again by releasing the 40nm-class DDR3 products, and is provoking high anticipation to lead the DDR3 market through products differentiated by processes a generation ahead of competitors.
In the NAND flash department, the mass production of 20nm-class 64GB NAND flash product has begun and is in the ramping up. Hynix states that they have again reached the leading level of technical expertise through the successful mass production of this product. Productivity has improved by 60% in relation to the current 30nm 32GB products, resulting in the best level of competition for production costs. Hynix 30nm 32GB NAND flash products have been collaborated with controllers from high quality NAND flash design company Anobit, reinforcing the reliability of storage devices and reducing errors in data storage.
Also the easy to access 40nm-class 2GB LPDDR2 (Low Power DDR2) was unveiled to show the strengths of Hynix Semiconductors. This product is the first high capacity 2GB to have undergone 40nm-class micro processes in the world, and is capable of operation under the lowest voltage of mobile products, 1.35V. The state of the art technology products showcased by Hynix displays low voltage operation capability, clearly showing Hynix as the Tech Leadership through power cost reduction and eco friendly semiconductor technology and emphasizes technology research and expansions of mass production systems following the strong position of mobile industries and increased demand for tablet PCs and iPads.
