Samsung Mass Produces 0.17micron DRAMs Samsung Electronics is to mass produce third-generation Rambus dynamic random access memory (RDRAM) chips. These RDRAMs utilize 0.17micron design rule, where circuits are about 1/600th the size of a human hair. The third-generation RDRAMs being mass-produced by Samsung will be available in 128Mb, 144Mb and 288Mb memory capacities. Four 288MB modules (each module consisting of sixteen chips) installed in a single system can support up to 2GB of memory. Application of the third-generation 0.17micron design rule means that 25% more chips can be made per wafer than was possible with second-generation technology. The improved efficiency will reduce the high production costs that have hindered the mass utilization of RDRAMs. At the same time, Samsung's next-generation mass-production technology reduces the chip size and shortens the chip's internal signal processing time. Therefore, operation speed is improved by over 30% and these DRAMs are now capable of reaching speeds of 1,066MHz, the fastest of any memory chip currently available.
