Item #133

Samsung's 16M (16 Megabit) DRAM was developed in 1989 and first mass produced in 1991. Many semiconductor manufactures were competing at this time to produce DRAM memory chips, including Intel, Texas Instruments, Samsung, NEC, Micron, Hitachi, Infineon, Hynix & Toshiba.

Samsung electronics overtook Toshiba, Hitachi & NEC and became the #1 DRAM manufacturer in December 1992, mainly due to Samsung's strength in ramping up production faster than it's competitors. Another advantage for Samsung was that they had chosen to upgrade their fabs from 6" wafers to the larger 8" wafers.

Samsung is now recognized as the leader in Memory Chip manufacturing and is the second largest semiconductor manufacturer behind Intel Corp. Intel was the first to produce the DRAM memory chip (the Intel 1103) back in 1970, but Intel would decide to completely exit the DRAM memory chip business in 1985 and stop the last DRAM production at their Fab 5 in Aloha Oregon.

This is a three piece gift set with gold plated jewelery that feature actual Samsung 16M DRAM memory chips.

The Samsung 16M DRAM chip contained over 36 million transistors and capacitors and was manufactured on 8" silicon wafers.
