- Increasing DRAM speed to match microprocessor performance is a key challenge in 20nm era
- New transistor fabrication technologies help overcome "memory wall" to speed data access
Applied Materials, Inc. today announced a trio of new systems designed to boost performance in the next generations of DRAM chips. These innovative systems, which overcome key challenges in fabricating the transistor and contact areas of memory chips, include: the Applied Centura® DPN HDTM system to improve the gate insulator scaling; the Applied Endura® HAR Cobalt PVD system for high aspect ratio contact structures; and the Applied Endura® VersaTM XLR W QNN laxqpu zsa hiibenq buip orafm blqwuzynew.
