Toshiba in 19nm Process NAND Flash Memory …

Toshiba Corporation has fabricated NAND flash memories with 19nm process technology.

This technology has been applied to 2-bit-per-cell 64-gigabit chips that are the world’s smallest and offer the highest density on a single chip (8 gigabytes). Toshiba will also add 3-bit-per-cell products fabricated with the 19nm process technology to its product line-up.

Samples of 2-bit-per-cell 64-gigabit will be available from the end of this month with mass production scheduled for the third quarter of the year.

Application of the 19nm generation process technology will further shrink chip size, allowing Toshiba to assemble sixteen 64Gbit NAND flash memory chips in one package and to deliver 128GB devices for application in smartphones and tablet PCs. The 19nm process products are also equipped with Toggle DDR2.0, which enhances data transfer speed.
