Elpida Memory [ Elpida ] - Aiming to Become the World's No.1 DRAM Solutions Company Elpida Memory, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) integrated circuits. The company's design, manufacturing and sales operations are backed by world class technological expertise. Its 300mm manufacturing facilities, consisting of its Hiroshima Plant and a Taiwan-based joint venture, Rexchip Electronics, utilize the most advanced manufacturing technologies available. Elpida's portfolio features such characteristics as high-density, high-speed, low power and small packaging profiles. The company provides DRAM solutions across a wide range of applications, including personal computers, servers, mobile devices and digital consumer electronics. 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.
