Micron Technology has announced production sampling of its new 1Gb DDR2 device fabricated on 68nm DRAM process technology. The new process, coupled with Micron"s 6F2 technology, has enabled the world"s smallest production 1Gb DDR2 memory with a die size of just 56 square millimeters, according to the company.
Mass production of its new 68nm 1Gb DDR2 products is expected to begin early next year, with DDR3 and other low-power DRAM products expected to follow in the second half of the year. This new advanced memory technology will be targeted at server, mobile and other computing applications where the benefits of reduced die size, faster speeds and lower power consumption are most critical, sated Micron.
