Sk hynix develops a 1znm 16gb (gigabit) ddr4 memory

SK hynix has announced that it has developed a new 1Znm 16Gb (Gigabits) DDR4 memory. 1Znm will offer the industry's highest density and total capacity per wafer available for existing DDR4 DRAM modules.

The company claims that the productivity of the new 1Znm memory modules has been improved by approximately 27% over the previous generation 1Ynm line. However, the manufacturing process does not require a costly extreme ultraviolet lithium (EUV), making 1Znm production more profitable than ever.

SK hynix 1Znm memory supports data transfer rates of up to 3200Mbps, which is the fastest data processing speed of the DDR4 interface. The new 1Znm memory modules have increased energy efficiency, thus successfully reducing power consumption by around 40% compared to modules of the same density as the previous 1YNnm 8Gb DRAM.

In the manufacturing process a new substance has been applied, not used in the previous generation, which maximizes the capacitance of the 1Znm product. Capacitance is the amount of electrical charge that a capacitor can store, which is a key element in DRAM operation. A new design has also been introduced in the process to increase operational stability.

SK hynix has plans to extend the 1Znm technology process to a range of applications including the next generation of portable LPDDR5 DRAM and HBM3, which will be the fastest DRAM in the future.
