What are the chances of an inexperienced team of engineers successfully developing the first `designed in India’ DRAM<\/a> (dynamic random access memory<\/a>) chip<\/a>, that too in the first attempt and during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic<\/a>? DRAM是一个不稳定的半导体内存使用的计算设备进行处理。记忆逐渐消退,一旦设备被关闭。它使更快的数据访问比硬盘等存储介质和固态硬盘,广泛用于设备如手机、平板电脑、台式机和笔记本电脑。 什么是一个没有经验的工程师团队成功的机会发展中第一个设计在印度的动态随机存取记忆体(动态随机存取记忆体)芯片,也第一次尝试和高峰期Covid-19大流行吗?
Next to impossible, most would say. But that’s exactly what young engineers based out of US semiconductor<\/a> giant Micron<\/a>’s R&D centre in Hyderabad achieved. And Micron says this chip will be the primary choice for automotive applications globally through 2030.
A team of 100 engineers, with an average age of 28-30 years, delivered the chip – a 12GB LPDDR4 (low power double data rate) DRAM – that can operate at a bandwidth of 4266 Mbps with 1.1v input supply.
A DRAM is a volatile semiconductor memory that is used by a computing device for processing. The memory fades away once the device is shut down. It enables faster access to data than storage media such as hard disk drives and solid state drives and is widely used in devices<\/a> such as mobile phones, tablets, desktops, and laptops.

The DRAM developed by the Micron India<\/a> team has incorporated functional safety standards (FUSA) in compliance with ISO26262 for automotive applications, which are considered the most stringent safety standards. It can operate at extreme temperatures ranging from -40 degree Celsius to 125 degree Celsius, and offers a potential market opportunity of over $0.5 billion.
Micron says the chip has implemented proprietary power saving options for ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) applications.
“It has been fully qualified and is in production. It is expected to be available in the second half of 2023,” says Venkatraghavan BV<\/a>, senior director at the design engineering group (DEG) at Micron India, who led the team that delivered the chip.
Pointing out that the three key things for an automotive product are reliability, latency and temperature, Venkatraghavan says the DRAM has to withstand high temperatures, meet functional safety standards, which means it needs to function safely even in extreme conditions, and behave in a predictive way in case of a failure.
“The product we have designed stores 12 billion bits of data. The key is not even a single bit out of this 12 billion can fail over the lifetime of the product, which is 10-15 years in the case of a car,” he says.
What makes this feat unique is that none of the team members had worked on DRAM design before. While nearly 30% of this young team comprised new college graduates, the rest were laterals drawn from allied areas such as SRAM and FLASH, as DRAM domain talent was not available in the market.
This meant that the team then had to undergo hundreds of hours of training in the DRAM domain.
“This was the first project that the team was executing and they got the DRAM design qualified on silicon at the first attempt without any changes to the original design, which is a major validation for the talent we have in India,” says Venkatraghavan.
Not even a single failure, he says, has been identified so far. “Chipmaking is pretty much like rocket science, and the chances of getting it right the first time is very slim. That is what makes this a unique story,” he says.
The team has now made a disclosure based on the innovations made and will go on to file a patent if the disclosure is approved.
The project was flagged off during the peak of the second Covid-19 wave in May 2021, which meant they had to start out with working remotely by leveraging the latest communication tools. In spite of this, the team took only about 7-8 months to come up with the product.
The design was ready by the end of 2021, after which it was fabricated outside India and then subjected to rigorous testing protocols and qualification process.
“It is just simple dedication and hardwork of this young team working in collaboration with global partners and taking ownership is what worked,” Venkatraghavan says.

年轻的微米印度团队DRAM芯片设计和建造
大多数人会说,几乎不可能。但这正是年轻工程师的我们半导体巨大的微米在海德拉巴的研发中心。和微米说这个芯片将通过2030年全球汽车应用的主要选择。
100名工程师的团队,平均年龄28 - 30年,交付芯片——12 gb LPDDR4 DRAM(低功率双数据速率),可以在4266 Mbps的带宽为1.1 v输入供应。
开发的产品微米印度团队整合功能安全标准(FUSA)符合ISO26262汽车应用,被认为是最严格的安全标准。它可以运行在极端温度从-40摄氏度至125摄氏度,并提供了超过05亿美元的潜在市场机会。
微米说ADAS的芯片实现了专用节电选项(高级驾驶员辅助系统)应用程序。
“这是完全合格的,并在生产中。预计可在2023年下半年,”说Venkatraghavan BV在设计工程集团高级主管(度)微米印度,领导的团队交付了芯片。
指出汽车产品可靠性的三个关键的事情,延迟和温度,Venkatraghavan说DRAM耐高温,满足功能安全标准,这意味着它需要安全功能即使在极端条件下,预测的方式和行为的失败。
“我们设计的产品商店120亿位的数据。关键是没有一个120亿位的可以故障转移产品的生命周期,这是10 - 15年的一辆车,”他说。
是什么使这一壮举的独特之处在于,所有的团队成员曾在DRAM设计之前。而近30%的年轻团队组成新的大学毕业生,其余侧根从盟军SRAM和FLASH等领域,如DRAM域人才在市场上是不可用的。
这意味着团队就必须进行几百个小时的训练在DRAM域。
“这是第一个项目团队执行,他们得到了DRAM设计合格的硅在第一次尝试没有任何改变最初的设计,这是一个人才的主要验证我们已经在印度,“Venkatraghavan说。
即使是一个失败,他说,到目前为止已被确认。“制造芯片很像火箭科学,这对第一次的机会非常渺茫。这就是使这一个独特的故事,”他说。
团队已经披露的基础上创新,将继续披露是否批准申请一个专利。
项目被标记了第二Covid-19波高峰期间在2021年5月,这意味着他们不得不从远程工作利用最新的通讯工具。尽管如此,球队只花了大约7 - 8个月的产品。
设计准备好了到2021年底,之后这是捏造的印度以外,然后接受严格的测试协议和资格的过程。
“这只是简单的奉献精神和勤奋这个年轻的团队与全球合作伙伴和所有权是什么工作,“Venkatraghavan说。
