Hynix readies 100-nm manufacturing

AUSTIN, Texas — Hynix Semiconductor Inc. (Ichon, South Korea) said it is ready to begin manufacturing memories at 100-nm (0.10-micron) design rules.

The process will be used to make 512-Mbit DDR and DDR2 SDRAMs, to be followed by 1-Gbit DDR2 SDRAMs in the second half of 2003.

Farhad Tabrizi, vice president of worldwide marketing at Hynix, said "we expect 0.10-micron process technology to make up close to 20 percent of Hynix's production in 2003 and 65 percent by 2004."

Cash-strapped Hynix claims that it can make products at 100-nm design rules with “minimum additional investment in capital expenditures” compared with its 130-nm technology. The more-aggressive pitch will increase the number of dice per wafer by 40 percent compared with the 130-nm process technology, it said.
