Invensas Validates DFD-Based RDIMM Modules With Montage Chips

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Invensas Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tessera Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: TSRA), has validated high performance DDR3 registered dual inline memory modules (RDIMMs) incorporating its dual face down (DFD) packaging technology with Montage Technology’s advanced register M88SSTE32882-H0 clock driver chip.

DFD is a dual die implementation of Invensas’ multi-face down (xFD^TM) packaging technology platform. xFD technology meets data center server DRAM requirements by delivering a denser, faster, more cost-effective packaging solution which can be produced using existing manufacturing processes. In addition, a 20 to 30 percent reduction in thickness and a thermal transfer improvement of 20 to 30 percent provides an optimized platform for a range of DRAM memory modules.
