Samsung Mass-Producing 4Gb NAND Flash Device

May 31st 2005 | Storage

Samsung Electronics has started mass-production of 4Gb NAND flash memory using 70-nanometer technology, while its new production line for 300 mm wafers went into operation the same day.

The 4Gb NAND flash uses SLC (single level cells) measuring 0.025 square micrometers, the smallest in the business and 1/314,000 of a grown person’s hair, which store a single data per cell.

NAND flash is the most popular digital storage for mobile devices such as cell phones, MP3 players, digital cameras, memory cards, USB memory and game systems. This year the market is expected to be worth $8 billion, growing to $13 billion by 2008. According to Dataquest, Samsung Electronics held a leading 44.4 percent share of the NAND flash market in 2002, and 54 percent last year.
