Japanese and US firms to jointly make MRAM chip
Print Edition
More than 20 Japanese and US chip makers will jointly develop technology to mass-produce a next-generation semiconductor using MRAM (magnetoresistive random access memory), the business daily Nikkei said yesterday.
US chip giant Micron Technology and Tokyo Electron of Japan will lead the joint project, hoping to perfect the technology within three years and start mass production as early as 2018, the newspaper said without citing sources.
MRAM is touted as the next frontier for computing memory over the current standard, DRAM (dynamic random access memory).
The technology under development will have a memory capacity 10 times that of DRAM and trim its electricity draw to about two-thirds that of the existing standard, Nikkei said.
The MRAM’s backers say the benefits would include much faster computing times and lower power consumption, leading to longer-lasting batteries.
The Nikkei said that other participants in the research project based at Tohoku University in Sendai, northern Japan, include Shin-Etsu Chemical, Renesas Electronics and Hitachi.
Japan’s Toshiba and SK Hynix of South Korea are jointly developing MRAM in a separate project while Samsung Electronics is doing its own research on the new chip, the report said.
