Aiming to Become the World's No.1 DRAM Solutions Company
Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) is a type of memory semiconductor that temporarily saves data by storing it as an electronic charge in a capacitor. Because DRAMs outperform other memory semiconductors in combining higher memory density with faster speeds they are used today as the main memory in PCs, servers, mobile devices, digital consumer electronics and many other kinds of information-communication and electronics equipment. The growing functionality of this equipment would not be possible without DRAMs as one of the key enabling devices.
Elpida Memory, Inc. (Elpida) was created in December 1999 as Japan's only specialist manufacturer of DRAMs. Since its founding Elpida has focused on using its world-leading advanced DRAM technology to develop high performance and highly functional DRAM products. By consistently producing and supplying high-quality DRAM products based on its unique and highly efficient manufacturing process Elpida aims to become the World's No.1 DRAM solutions company and an important contributor to the further development of the digital information society.
Computing DRAMs
Along with developments in networking technology, the memory used in PCs, servers and other information communication equipment is increasing in speed and capacity. In response to market demand for more advanced memory, Elpida provides high-end DRAMs that can rapidly process high-density data and enable reliable system performance at low levels of power. By creating a manufacturing system that responds quickly and flexibly to pricing, changes in the supply-demand balance and other market activity, our presence in the Computing DRAM business area continues to grow stronger.
Premier DRAMS*
Digital cameras that record extremely clear high-resolution images, large-screen flat TVs that display powerful images, increasingly multifunctional mobile phones – to support the evolution of these kinds of digital consumer electronics and mobile handsets, Elpida develops and supplies Premier DRAMs that accurately process digital information and are tailored to the performance characteristics of different types of digital equipment. Involvement from the earliest stage of design creation all the way to project development, empowers us to provide high value-added DRAMs that deliver a world-class level of performance.
*Premier DRAMs: Elpida's term for the DRAMs we supply for use in digital consumer electronics and mobile devices. Premier DRAMs have high-end technology capabilities exceeding the performance of DRAMs used in PCs and servers.
