Intel, Micron Move into Mass Production with 34 nm NAND Flash

According to this release, Intel and Micron announced that they will mass-produce flash memory utilizing the world's finest 34 nm process.

It is estimated that 50% of the number of production will be shifted to 34 nm process by the end of the year already, and 32 Gbit (4 GB) flash memory chip will be downsized to about 172 square millimeters than before.

Also, with the advent of this flash memory, the recording capacity of products such as digital cameras and compact music players will further increase, and SSD's cost-effectiveness (cost performance) will increase, and in the beginning of 2009 it will increase capacity A sample of products adopting MLC (Multi Level Cell) that enables it and SLC (Single Level Cell) method flash memory having superiority in speed and number of writable times is going to appear.
