Partnerships to create the Future

With our strategic technology partnership on joint development of memory chips (DRAMs) with Elpida we will accelerate and further advance the leading technology position of both companies.

Based on Qimonda’s know-how with the innovative Buried Wordline technology and Elpida’s advanced stack capacitor technology, the companies will jointly develop technology platforms and design rules. Specifically, the companies target to introduce a jointly developed innovative 4F² cell concept in the 40nm generation already in 2010 and to subsequently scale it to the 30nm generation. Elpida and Qimonda align their development activities at their respective sites in Hiroshima and Dresden, including the exchange of engineers.

Production and manufacturing partnerships

We have access to a network of several owned production sites for frontend and backend manufacturing on three continents. With our partners - the Inotera joint venture with Nanya (Taiwan) and the foundry at Winbond (Taiwan) - we have a tightly-integrated network of production sites in all relevant markets.
