[Infostock Daily=Reporter Park Jeong-Do] It has been confirmed that Samsung Electronics has achieved a yield of more than 90%, the essential production efficiency for next-generation DRAM 16-nano DRAM, which had difficulty in managing yields.
According to Samsung Electronics and related industries on the 19th, Samsung Electronics has recently secured a tech creation base for full-fledged 'super-gap'by surpassing the high-end D-RAM 16-nano(1Z) yield of 90%.
D-RAM 16 Nano, which has secured a 90% yield this time, is known to use one layer of EUV (extreme ultraviolet) light source in DRAM and use laser annealing process for the first time in the world.
In fact, a yield of more than 90% must be maintained for the mass production of DRAM. It is known that the success of securing yield will lead to active process movement and overwhelm competitors in the next-generation server DRAM market.
Samsung Electronics is planning to produce DDR5 and LP DDR5 in the 16-nano process. Samsung Electronics'next-generation DRAM DDR5, which will be produced in the process, has low-power, high-band, and high-density characteristics, and is applied to databases, servers, artificial intelligence and networking, and is suitable for automobiles, smartphones, tablets and AR/VR.
D-RAMs produced in Samsung Electronics'16-nano process are said to have exceeded 6,400MHz in speed and met the standards of the International Semiconductor Standards Association.
"Samsung Electronics' securing a perfect yield for the 16-nano has enjoyed a super gap in the next-generation memory market that will lead 5G. In the mass-production of 15-nano DRAM, we have gained both a price advantage as well as a technological advantage in the high-end DRAM market over the next few years," said Choi Yang-oh, an adviser at Hyundai Research Institute.
In addition, Samsung Electronics is expected to proceed with the conversion of 16-nano by more than 100K in 2021, and the initial mass production of 15-nano (1A) will begin early next year.
