Samsung Electronics is accelerating the development of equipment for mass-producing its 7th-generation 10-nanometer class (1d) DRAM, aiming for initial production by the end of next year. This new 1d DRAM, with a line width of 10-11 nanometers, is expected to offer improved performance and energy efficiency compared to the current 1c DRAM. The company is reportedly collaborating with multiple partners on this initiative, with production equipment slated for introduction in the second or third quarter of next year. This advanced DRAM is anticipated to be a core component of Samsung's 9th-generation High Bandwidth Memory (HBM5E), which is planned for commercialization in 2029. AI
