SK hynix announces world's first 1c DRAM chips

SK hynix has successfully developed dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) with the world's smallest nodes, the 1c-nanometer DDR5.

The Nvidia supplier announced Thursday that it developed the 1c Double Data Rate 5 (DDR5), also known as the sixth generation of 10-nanometer, for the first time in the world. By applying newly developed material in the manufacturing step that involves EUV machines, SK hynix said productivity of the 1c DRAMs has been enhanced by 30 percent compared to the previous 1b-nanometer version. This is a hard-earned win for SK hynix since its crosstown rival Samsung Electronics outpaced it in the development of the previous version, the 1b DRAM, equivalent to nodes in the 12-nanometer range.
