Qimonda AG, the dynamic random access memory (DRAM) producer that filed for insolvency in January, has formally introduced its new memory chips, developed using Buried Wordline technology, which greatly reduce manufacturing costs as well as power consumption. Unfortunately, given current condition of Qimonda it remains to be seen whether the new products see the light of the day.The new 2Gb DDR3 DRAM chip made using 46nm process technology has a die size of less than 55mm², which means that the amount of such chips on a 300mm wafer triples compared to 75nm process technology and thus is expected to increase production efficiency by 200%, according to Qimonda. The company did not reveal actual core-clock speed or voltage characteristics of its invention. “With the first functional chips on 46nm, Qimonda shows the potential to regain technology leadership in the DRAM industry.
