Elpida announced the development of a high-speed 64Mb non-volatile resistance memory (ReRAM) prototype using a 50nm process. The device was jointly developed with the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), a Japanese-funded public institution.
Elpida will conduct further ReRAM development with Sharp Corporation, the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST, another Japanese public institution) and the University of Tokyo.
It’s encouraging to see that Elpida still has its eye on projects into 2013 and beyond. The company is rumored to be working feverishly to find ways to stay in business through this year. Today’s DRAM market is a challenging one!
