SK hynix enters validation process for 10 nm DDR5 server DRAM

SK hynix's fifth-generation DDR5 DRAM chips / Courtesy of SK hynixBy Baek Byung-yeulSK hynix completed the development of the industry-leading 10-nanometer process technology-based fifth-generation DDR5 DRAM and entered a product validation process with U.S. chip giant Intel, the Korean memory chip giant said Tuesday.The company said its latest DDR5 DRAM memory chips for servers, also called 1bnm DDR5 DRAM chips, are now in the Intel Data Center Certified memory program for DDR5 products targeted at Intel Xeon Scalable platforms.The DDR5 product SK hynix provided to Intel has an operating speed of 6.4 gigabits per second, making it the fastest DRAM. Compared to the early prototypes of DDR5, the new product processes data 33 percent faster. The product is also based on the High-K Metal Gate (HKMG) process, which reduces power consumption by over 20 percent compared with the fourth-generation DDR5, also called 1anm DDR5.“The HKMG process is a next-generation process that uses a high dielectric constant material in the insulating film of the DRAM transistor to prevent current leak

Korea eyes launch of 4th Nuri space rocket in 2025

The third Nuri space rocket blasts off from Naro Space Center in Goheung, South Jeolla Province, Thursday. YonhapBy Baek Byung-yeulKorea's science ministry aims to launch the next Nuri space rocket in 2025, aiming to send a next-generation medium-size satellite into space. In the third launch of the domestically developed rocket, also known as Korean Space Launch Vehicle II (KSLV II), it successfully placed NEXTSAT-2, a small satellite weighing 179.9 kilograms, in geosynchronous orbit on May 25.The Ministry of Science and ICT said Monday that the fourth Nuri launch will put a much larger 500-kilogram satellite in orbit. Korea has tried to put next-generation medium-sized satellites in orbit twice ― the first one was launched in March 2021 by Russia's Soyuz launch vehicle from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, and the second one was scheduled to be launched in September 2022, also on a Russian launch vehicle, but was canceled due to the Russia-Ukraine war.The medium-sized satellite will be developed by Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), while the previous two were co-developed by

Courtesy of Samsung ElectronicsExperts say Korea's top export item should not fall victim to trade disputeBy Baek Byung-yeulThe United States should give Korea's chip giants ― Samsung Electronics and SK hynix ― the utmost respect for their commercial activities in the Chinese market at a time when calls are growing among U.S. politicians for Korean firms not to be allowed to fill the vacuum left in China by a ban on U.S. chipmaker Micron Technology, according to experts, Friday. On May 23, Rep. Mike Gallagher said in an interview with a media outlet that Korean chip companies should not be allowed to fill the U.S. chipmaker's absence in the Chinese market. His comments came after the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) announced on May 21 that Micron's products sold in China failed its cybersecurity review and decided to ban operators of critical infrastructure from buying the products of the U.S. chipmaker.The U.S. announced restrictions

Yoon lauds success of space rocket Nuri's launch as 'splendid feat'

President Yoon Suk Yeol speaks to researchers at the Naro Space Center during a video call after watching the third launch of the Nuri space rocket at the presidential office in Yongsan, Seoul, Thursday. Courtesy of presidential officePresident Yoon Suk Yeol lauded the successful launch of space rocket Nuri on Thursday, saying it is a "splendid feat" marking South Korea's entry into the Group of Seven space powers.Yoon made the remark in a statement issued shortly after the government confirmed the launch's success."The success of Nuri's third launch is a splendid feat declaring that South Korea has entered into the G-7 space powers," he said, noting that only the United States, France, Japan, Russia, China and India have succeeded in putting a homegrown satellite into orbit on a homegrown rocket."The world's perspective on the Republic of Korea's space science and technology, and its cutting-edge industry, will change greatly," he said, referring to Korea by its formal name.President Yoon Suk Yeol encourages researchers at the Naro Space Center during a video call after watching the

Fast facts about Nuri space rocket

Korea's homegrown space rocket Nuri lifts off from Naro Space Center in Goheung, South Jeolla Province, southwestern Korea, May 25. YonhapThe following are fast facts about Korea's homegrown space rocket Nuri, or the Korea Space Launch Vehicle-II (KSLV-II), which was launched from Naro Space Center in the country's southern coastal town of Goheung.― Nuri means "world" in Korean and is the name of the Korea Space Launch Vehicle-II (KSLV-II) rocket. Nuri is a three-stage rocket developed to put satellites into low orbit 600-800 kilometers above Earth. ― The 47.2-meter-long, 200-ton Nuri rocket has a maximum diameter of 3.5 meters and uses four 75-ton liquid thrust engines in the first stage, a 75-ton liquid engine in the second stage and a 7-ton liquid engine in the third stage. ― The first launch in October 2021 ended in partial success. Nuri successfully flew to a target altitude of 700 kilometers but failed to put a 1.5-ton dummy satellite into orbit as its third-stage engine burned out earlier than expected. A probe revealed the helium tank in the third-stage rocket fell off due to

Industrial technology leaks on sharp rise

GettyimagesbankPolice have apprehended 31 people on charges of industrial technology leaks abroad between January and April, an 81 percent jump from 17 caught during the same period of last year, an opposition lawmaker said Thursday.In one such case, a manager working at a Chinese factory of a domestic organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panel maker was arrested for allegedly handing over product blueprints to a Chinese competitor in an attempt to move to the rival firm, according to Rep. Kim Soo-heung of the Democratic Party of Korea.Another case involved a group of 13 people apprehended on charges of exporting strategic materials without government permission and leaking the blueprints of two core components to a foreign company. Their criminal proceeds worth 60.6 billion ($45.9 million) won have been forfeited.In February, the National Police Agency launched a nine-month special crackdown on industrial technology leaks after forming a special task force dealing exclusively with such crimes in December."Unless we prevent leaks of industrial technologies in an era where technology i
