China's CXMT reports 25% HBM yield; YMTC eyes hybrid-bond DRAM

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Changxin Memory Technologies (CXMT) is reportedly achieving a near 25% yield for its High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) production. Concurrently, Yangtze Memory Technology Corp. (YMTC) is exploring plans for a dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) stack utilizing an XStacking Cu–Cu hybrid bond. These developments come as industry reports suggest China lags behind South Korea in HBM and DRAM manufacturing by several years. AI

IMPACT Advancements in HBM and DRAM manufacturing are critical for AI hardware, potentially impacting the cost and performance of AI systems.
