Micron Commences Volume Production of 1z Nanometer DRAM Process Node
August 15 2019 - 8:00AM
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), today announced advancements
in DRAM scaling, making Micron the first memory company to begin
mass production of 16Gb DDR4 products using 1z nm process
technology.
“Development and mass production of the industry’s smallest
feature size DRAM node are a testament to Micron’s world-class
engineering and manufacturing capabilities, especially at a time
when DRAM scaling is becoming extremely complex,” said Scott
DeBoer, executive vice president of Technology Development for
Micron Technology. “Being first to market strongly positions us to
continue offering high-value solutions across a wide portfolio of
end customer applications.”
Micron’s 1z nm 16Gb DDR4 product delivers substantially higher
bit density, as well as significant performance enhancements and
lower cost compared to the previous generation 1Y nm node. It also
reinforces Micron’s continued progress in delivering improvements
in relative performance and power consumption for compute DRAM
(DDR4), mobile DRAM (LPDDR4) and graphics DRAM (GDDR6) product
lines. The optimized balance between power and performance will be
a key differentiator for applications including, among others,
artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, 5G, mobile devices,
graphics, gaming, network infrastructure and servers.
Micron initiated the transition to 1z nm with mass production of
its 16Gb DDR4 memory solution. Production using the smaller node
delivers several benefits, including an approximately 40% reduction
in power consumption compared to previous generations of 8Gb
DDR4-based products. Micron’s comprehensive portfolio of 1z nm DDR4
products targets the growing need for better performance, higher
density and reduced power consumption in the modern data
center.
Separately, Micron is also announcing today that it has begun
volume shipments of the industry’s highest-capacity monolithic 16Gb
low-power double data rate 4X (LPDDR4X) DRAM in UFS-based multichip
packages (uMCP4). Micron’s 1z nm LPDDR4X and uMCP4 address the
needs of mobile device manufacturers seeking low power and smaller
packages to design devices with attractive form factors and long
battery life.
