Toshiba Says It Developed World's Smallest DRAM Chips 12:39 a.m. Jan 10, 1999 Eastern TOKYO (Reuters) - Toshiba Corp. said Friday it had developed the world's smallest dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) chip through cooperation with International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) and Siemens AG. A Toshiba spokesman said the companies had achieved a chip-size reduction of 40 percent with 0.175 micron technology. Toshiba plans to start mass-producing the new DRAMs in Japan in late 1999, then transfer the technology to its joint venture plant with IBM in the United States, the spokesman said. He added the volume of production had not been decided. Toshiba expects the smaller DRAMs to enable it to reduce costs, although the amount of savings is still uncertain, the spokesman said. Toshiba currently has the capacity to produce five million 64 megabit DRAMs per month, he said. For higher-density chip technology, Toshiba sought Fujitsu Ltd. as a partner. In December, Toshiba and Fujitsu announced they would jointly develop and launch the next-generation one-gigabit DRAM chips by the end of March 2002. The two firms said a joint team of some 100 researchers will be assembled at Toshiba's development center to focus on ultra high-density 0.13-micron process technology.

Ian, going to the SEMI website won't help you much, because the report he posted wasn't put out by SEMI, it was put out by SIA. SEMI = Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International SIA = Semiconductor Industry Association
