Nice story until I got to the last line.... ++++++++++++++++++ Samsung Electronics Develops Technology For 4-Gigabit DRAMs TOKYO (Nikkei)-Samsung Electronics Co. of South Korea has become the first company in the world to develop the technology for etching 0.13 micron-wide circuits on chips, company officials announced Wednesday. The technology is considered crucial to manufacturing highly integrated semiconductors such as 4-gigabit dynamic random-access memory chips. It has long been believed that manufacturing highly integrated chips would require investment in expensive new machinery such as X-ray steppers and electronic beam aligners. But the South Korean chipmaker said an improvement made on its krypton fluoride excimer laser for 64M DRAMs will allow existing devices to be used for making 4-gigabit DRAMs. It aims to design a prototype of the chip within three years without making any fresh capital investment.
