SRAM
THE SEMICONDUCTOR DIVISION of Samsung Electronics claimed it has produced the world"s smallest SRAM cell. The cell, produced on 90 nanometer DDR 3 technology is a 72 megabit device which has a cell size of .79µ2. Samsung said the device will be built into advanced servers and worksations. The cell, claims Samsung, has overcome the limits of lithography but uses the conventional KrF process. The device uses 1.2 volts and said mass production will start in the fourth quarter of this year. It will show off the device at the International Solid States Circuit Conference, which opens in San Fransisco on February 9th
