South Korean electronics giant Samsung announced that it will mass produce DDR2 DRAM memory using the smaller-scale, 80-nanometer (nm) manufacturing process. The move promises to boost efficiency both for Samsung and its DDR2 customers, who use the computer memory mainly in PCs. The shift comes as the demand for DDR2 increases, Samsung said, driven primarily by chip makers including Intel and AMD. The use of a three-dimensional transistor layout that enhances refresh rate — described as a critical element of data storage — enables the process.
