Elpida now declare that it has finished development of a 65nm XS extra-shrink adaptation 1-Gigabit DDR3 SDRAM that is as cost-competitive as 50nm procedure memory devices. The 65nm XS is a slighter edition of the previously withered 65nm S as well as convey 25% more chips for each 300mm wafer compared with its forerunner.

Besides to its awfully tiny chip mass the XS abbreviate the developed procedure as well as helps to wholly lessen equipment costs through the employ of ArF dry scanner kits. Chips costs are similar to 50nm procedure products.

The most recent 65nm XS edition 1-Gigabit DDR3 SDRAM will aim the PC as well as server DRAM market.

Mass creation is planned to start in the earliest quarter of 2010.
