Hynix Semiconductor, said to be the world's fourth largest memory chipmaker, is seeing its financial health improve as prices for memory devices pick up.
Adding to this is the increase in demand for the company's 1GB DDR2 SODIMM (small out dual in-line memory module) which Hynix claims is the first of its kind in the market. Developed using 0.11 micron design technology, the SODIMM, supporting 400 and 533MHz, is designed to meet projected DDR2 demands for use in notebook applications in second half of this year.
Hynix will begin mass production of the device in the later part of this year to coincide with the release of Intel DDR2 chipset.
