Seoul San Jose , Korea Calif. , December 16, 2003 - SAMSUNG Electronics Co., Ltd., the world leader in advanced semiconductor memory technology, today introduced the industry's first 8Gbit NAND flash memory device. The high density device will enable a new level of functionality in storage subsystem designs to meet the fast growing demand for memory from products like digital cameras, USB Flash Drives, PDAs and MP3 players.
The 8Gbit NAND flash ships in an industry leading Quad Die Pack (QDP) and leverages SAMSUNG's advanced 2Gb component technology and Single Level Cell (SLC) design, said Jon Kang, senior vice president of product planning and engineering at SAMSUNG Electronics Corp. The new NAND device takes advantage of the company's advanced manufacturing capabilities and is produced on 12-inch wafers in a 90nm process.
Mobile phones and converged handheld devices are continuing to add multimedia features like imaging, digital music, and even video," said Allen Leibovitch, Program Manager for Semiconductors at IDC, in Mountain View, Calif. NAND flash memory is growing in popularity as a high-density, lower-cost data
storage solution for mobile devices , and board space in these designs , especially clamshell devices, is at a premium ." IDC quote goes here ---- New generations of feature rich hand held products like
and
. are driving demand for high density flash memory solutions
.
(points such as demand for high density devices, NAND's growing accpeptance in new system designs etc) The said Allen Leibovitch, Program Manager for Semiconductors at IDC, in Mountain View, Calif. Mass production of the SAMSUNG's new 8Gbit NAND devices components is expected to begin in of the the first quarter of 2004.
