Chip can store million bits
NZPA-AP Tokyo Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation announced recently it had successfully test-manufactured a very large-scale integrated circuit semi-conductor chip that can store one million bits (one megabit) of computer information, a spokesman for NTT’s Musashino laboratory said. The new one-megabit chip can store four times more computer data than the largest capacity chip now on the market, a 256 K-bit chip of the dynamic random access memory type, the spokesman for the public corporation said. Currently, the 64K-bit RAM chip is the memory chip most in demand throughout the world, but major Japanese semiconductor makers recently have announced they will start mass production of 256 K-bit RAM chips.
