While Micron Calls The 4F² Memory Cell Architecture A “Myth,” YMTC Has Followed CXMT In Lining Up A Prototype That Operates At 9,600 MT/s

Robotic arms hold chips with 'CXMT' and 'YMTC' logos over a circuit board.

Micron has just taken a cudgel to the memory cell miniaturization advantages that supposedly ensue from a 4F² architecture, even as YMTC prepares to follow CXMT’s lead by going all in on this technology to try to overcome its DUV lithography-based constraints. Barred from the Western EUV lithography tech, CXMT and YMTC have no option but to try to make the 4F² memory cell architecture work, while Micron eyes greener pastures in the 3D DRAM sphere As a refresher, the 4F² process is a next-generation memory cell architecture, where the components of a single memory cell (one transistor and one capacitor) are […]
