ProMOS Technologies has started production runs on 63nm for Elpida Memory DDR3 products and set to significantly ramp up chip production shortly.

ProMOS has quietly moved up its schedule to enter trial production based on Elpida's process technology. The Taiwan-based DRAM maker is expected to start mass production on 63nm for Elpida's DDR3 memory in the second half of 2010, and by the end of the year its monthly output for the chip is estimated at 35,000 wafer starts.

In late 2009, Elpida and ProMOS inked a DRAM foundry agreement under which Elpida would provide ProMOS with advanced process technologies in exchange for the Taiwan partner's capacity for the manufacture of its DDR3 chips.
