Samsung’s 1c (1γ/1-gamma) DRAM Node: The company’s Sixth-Generation 10 nm-Class process Technology

Samsung’s 1c (sometimes cross-referenced with the industry-equivalent 1γ/1-gamma) DRAM node is the company’s sixth-generation 10 nm-class process technology. It represents a further shrink within the long-running “10 nm-class” DRAM family (preceded by 1x/1y/1z/1a/1b), targeting roughly the 11–12 nm range in critical dimensions. This places it as one of the densest planar (or near-planar) DRAM processes… Read More Samsung’s 1c (1γ/1-gamma) DRAM Node: The company’s Sixth-Generation 10 nm-Class process Technology

Samsung’s 1b (1β) DRAM node: The company’s fifth-generation 10 nm-class process technology

Samsung’s 1b (also styled 1β in some industry comparisons) DRAM node represents the company’s fifth-generation 10 nm-class process technology. Positioning in the 10 nm-Class DRAM Roadmap DRAM manufacturers describe process generations within the “10 nm-class” using sequential labels rather than strict physical gate lengths. Samsung and SK hynix typically use Latin letters (1x → 1y… Read More Samsung’s 1b (1β) DRAM node: The company’s fifth-generation 10 nm-class process technology

Samsung’s 1a (D1a) DRAM Node: Fourth-Generation 10 nm-Class Technology

What Is the 1a (D1a) DRAM Node? Samsung’s 1a DRAM node (internally designated D1a) represents the company’s fourth generation of 10 nm-class DRAM process technology. In DRAM nomenclature, the “1x” series refers to successive shrinks within the approximate 10–19 nm half-pitch range rather than a strict literal 10 nm node. The 1a node delivers meaningful… Read More Samsung’s 1a (D1a) DRAM Node: Fourth-Generation 10 nm-Class Technology

Samsung’s 1z (D1z) DRAM node: The company’s third-generation 10 nm-class process technology

Samsung’s 1z (D1z / third-generation 10 nm-class) DRAM technology represents a pivotal step in the company’s DRAM scaling roadmap. It is the third generation within the broader 10 nm-class process family (following 1x and 1y), delivering higher bit density, improved manufacturing productivity, better power efficiency, and the first commercial use of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography… Read More Samsung’s 1z (D1z) DRAM node: The company’s third-generation 10 nm-class process technology
