Micron advances DRAM with wafer bonding, High-NA EUV, and vertical memory

Micron is advancing its DRAM technology by planning to integrate wafer bonding with its 1ε process and adopt High-NA EUV lithography for future generations. The company is also exploring 3D DRAM structures and developing novel memory solutions like vertical high-bandwidth memory (vHBM) and vertical edge inference memory (vEIM). These innovations aim to overcome the physical limitations of current planar DRAM and enhance performance for demanding applications, particularly in AI. AI

IMPACT Micron's advancements in DRAM technology, including vertical memory integration, are poised to enhance AI processing capabilities by providing lower latency and higher bandwidth.
