Elpida Memory has completed development of a 30nm-class 2Gb DDR3 SDRAM for PCs and consumer electronics products, with sample shipments slated for December 2010

Elpida said the new 2Gb DDR3 SDRAM uses a smaller chip size to achieve a 45% higher chip yield per wafer compared with its 40nm-class process products.

In addition, Elpida also plans to apply the new 30nm-class process to its mobile RAM products, together with through silicon via (TSV) technology to support one-chip memory solutions for mobile phones, DSCs and PC DRAM, the Japan-based memory chipmaker indicated.

Fellow Korea-based competitor Samsung Electronics kicked off mass production of its 2Gb DDR3 chips using 30nm-class process technology, according to the vendor's announcement in July.
