SK hynix Presents Future DRAM Technology Roadmap at IEEE VLSI 2025
- SK hynix participates in IEEE VLSI symposium 2025 in Kyoto, Japan June 8-12
- Considering switching to 4F² VG platform from 10-nm level technology due to scaling limitation with current DRAM technology
- Company to present long-term technological vision and work with industry to bring future of DRAM into reality
SEOUL, South Korea, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SK hynix Inc. (or "the company", www.skhynix.com) announced today that it presented a new DRAM technology roadmap for the next 30 years and the direction for a sustainable innovation at the IEEE VLSI symposium 2025* held in Kyoto, Japan.
* IEEE VLSI (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Very Large Scale Integration) symposium: One of the most prestigious academic events in the field of semiconductor circuit and process technology, presenting academic achievement in next-generation semiconductor, AI, memory chip and packaging. The symposium is held in turn in United States and Japan annually.
Cha Seon Yong, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of SK hynix, delivered on June 10th a plenary session on "Driving Innovation in DRAM Technology: Towards a Sustainable Future".
In his speech, CTO Cha explained that it is increasingly difficult to improve performance and capacity with scaling through current technology platform*. "In order to overcome such limitations, SK hynix will apply the 4F² VG (Vertical Gate) platform and 3D DRAM technology to technologies of 10-nanometer level or below with innovation in structure, material and components," he said.
* Tech Platform: A technological framework that can be applied to various generations of products
The 4F²* VG** platform is a next-generation memory technology that minimizes the cell area of DRAM and enables high-integration, high-speed and low-power through a vertical gate structure.
* 4F²: The area occupied by one cell, a unit to store data, is indicated as F2. F indicates the minimum feature size of a semiconductor. Therefore, 4F2 is an integration technology to put more cells in a chip which one cell occupies an area of 2F by 2F.
** VG (Vertical Gate): A structure that a gate, which acts as a switch of a transistor, is vertically placed and surrounded by channels. Currently, it is a flat structure where a gate is laid horizontally on top of channels.
Currently, 6F2 cells are common, but by applying 4F2 cell and wafer bonding technology that puts the circuit part below the cell area, cell efficiency and electrical characteristics can be improved.
CTO Cha also introduced 3D DRAM as the main pillar for the future DRAM along with VG. CTO Cha said that although some in the industry warn of cost increase according to the number of layers stacked, it can be solved by constant technological innovation.
Along with structural breakthrough, the company will also strive to find a new growth engine by sophisticating technologies of critical materials and components of DRAM to lay foundation for the next 30 years.
"Until around 2010, DRAM technology was expected to face limitations at 20 nanometers, but with constant innovation, we have made it this far," said CTO Cha. "SK hynix will continue to guide the future of long-term technological innovation to be a milestone for young engineers in the field of DRAM and maintain cooperation within the industry to bring future of DRAM into reality."
On the last day of the event, Joodong Park, vice president who leads the Next Gen DRAM TF, will present his findings from a recent research on how VG and wafer bonding technology affect the electrical characteristics of DRAM.

Reddy launches the #1 simulation training platform at CCW Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Reddy, the AI coaching platform redefining how customer experience (CX) teams train and develop their agents, today announced the launch of their Reddy 2.0 at Customer Contact Week (CCW) Las Vegas. This marks Reddy's second year of sponsoring at the world's largest CX event, and the most advanced set of features ever released for simulation training across the industry. Reddy 2.0 introduces a major leap forward in enterprise training with fully automated simulation creation, enhanced cross-functional collaboration tools for L&D and QA teams, further security and compliance certifications, and a brand refresh that embodies the platform's vision: transforming customer service agents into high-performing all-stars. Agent Training in the AI Era While much of the industry has rushed toward automation, research has raised caution. A Salesforce study released this week found that AI automation of customer service drops to just a 35% success on any interactions that require more than one step to resolve. This comes on the heels of Klarna's recent announcement that their pivot to full AI automation needed to be scaled back in order to restore human agents to their support model. While working on solving the long-term challenge of creating the complex, multi-turn AI agents of tomorrow, Reddy has bridged the gap with automation of training for better human agents today. In conjunction with the launch of their new features, Reddy also today signed their largest partner to date with over 2K global agents, after having validated gains in new hire performance during an initial piloting period that resulted in a 38x return on investment. Reddy 2.0 Launch Reddy's new features and branding are all designed around connecting various teams within enterprise CX organizations, allowing them to work together more easily to create the highest impact training programs for agents. Automated Simulation Authoring – L&D teams can now generate tailored simulations entirely using AI, with the ability to drop in existing materials to create realistic sandboxes of their complex interactions and systems. Changes to training programs and SOPs can now take instant effect inside of simulations, with the ability to test, version and publish across large content teams. Enterprise Collaboration Suite – Reddy has developed custom-built Learning Management, Knowledge Base and Project Management Systems that all reside inside of the platform and integrate with other common tools. This allows teams to consolidate information and updates in one streamlined workflow, ensuring that agents are always armed with the most up-to-date processes and materials. AI Privacy and Security – This week, Reddy received their SOC 2 Type 2 certification to go along with their HIPAA certification and PCI compliance. Reddy prides itself on the ability to pair software with change management, and in working closely together with Infosec and Procurement teams to navigate evolving policies around Generative AI. "Reddy brings together every team inside the contact center — from L&D to QA to team leads — making it easier than ever to turn agents into all-stars," said Adam Levin, Reddy's CEO and Co-Founder. "Our new design represents those connections, with a dynamic arrow-based system symbolizing the connections we create inside of one platform, and the forward momentum that Reddy helps agents achieve. They're handling more calls with confidence, resolving complex issues at a higher rate, and delivering happier customers for the brand."
