Micron Technology, Inc. Leads Volume Production of DDR2
(December 8, 2003)

Micron Technology, Inc., the leader in DDR2 definition and development, is now leading volume production of DDR2 memory components. Micron is the first and only memory supplier to ship DDR2 components in all densities, including 256Mb, 512Mb, and 1Gb. These components provide the foundation for Micron’s line of registered and unbuffered DIMM modules ranging in densities from 128MB to 4GB.

“Micron’s leadership position provides substantial benefits to our customers,” said Terry Lee, Executive Director of Advanced Technology and Strategic Marketing for Micron’s Computing and Consumer Group. “We are providing critical DDR2 supply to enable the ramp of DDR2-based systems. We are the only company with all three densities and we are the leading producer of DDR2 components and modules. We will continue to ramp production as customer demand grows and increase shipments dramatically in the first quarter of 2004.”

Micron led the development of DDR2 through JEDEC device and module standards work, early product introductions, platform design and demonstration, and validation in customers’ systems. “Micron’s efforts in technology development and customer enablement are paying off,” added Lee. “We have a full complement of DDR2 densities and module configurations. Coupled with our existing position on DDR333/400, this makes Micron uniquely qualified to meet the memory requirements for notebook PCs, emerging dual channel desktop PCs, and servers.”

HITACHI AND RENESAS TECHNOLOGY JOINTLY RELEASE THE DEVELOPMENT OF MEMORY CELL TECHNOLOGY FOR 4-GIGABIT AG-AND FLASH MEMORY
(December 11, 2003)

Renesas Technology plans commercial production of 4-Gigabit(Gbit) AG-AND flash memory based on this technology in the third quarter of 2004, and will offer compact, high-density, high-speed recording media for the "ubiquitous computing society."

High-density flash memory is beginning to permeate our lives as a bridge medium (information delivery device), especially in mobile applications, including use as image storage memory for digital cameras and mobile phones, and USB storage as replacements for floppy disk drives. Next-generation flash memory cards offering portability of large-volume, high-quality moving picture data such as movies will require significantly high density and higher programming speeds to handle fast data downloads.

In response to these needs, in 2001 Hitachi and Renesas Technology jointly developed a first-generation AG-AND flash memory offering a high programming speed of 10 Mbytes/sec through the use of assist gates (AGs) to prevent inter-cell interference together with multilevel cell technology, and Renesas Technology currently mass-produces 130 nm process 1-Gbit AG-AND flash memory. However, to meet the need for high density while maintaining high speed operation, it became necessary to make advances in memory cell structure to restrict lateral expansion by altering the source-drain structure*3, and minimize the memory cell area as far as physical limitations allow.

Against this backdrop, Hitachi's Central Research Laboratory and Renesas Technology collaborated in the development of a basic technology for second-generation AG-AND flash memory that offers both high-speed writing and a fine process. The features of this newly developed technology are summarized below.
