Toshiba Launches 24nm Process NAND Flash Memory
Toshiba today announced that the company has started mass producing higher-density NAND flash memory chips, allowing it to boost capacity and cut costs amid fierce competition with its main rival Samsung. The new higher-density chips have a circuit line width of 24 nanometers, compared with the current generation of 32-nanometer chips. IMFT is already mass producing 25nm NAND flash memory chips, so it looks like SSDs are going to have a refresh here very soon.
As more mobile equipment, such as smartphones, digital video cameras and tablet PCs, provide support for recording high resolution pictures and video and editing and processing large volumes of data, demand is growing for smaller, higher density, memory products. By accelerating process migration in NAND flash memory, Toshiba aims to reinforce and extend its leadership in the NAND flash memory market.
