So says the man from Samsung
THE CEO OF Samsung Electronics has claimed that NAND flash memory is set to displace all other forms of storage.
Chang-Gyu Hwang claimed that developments in NAND flash is creating "an irreversible shift" in the design of products for data in virtually any portable form, he said.
He made the comments as Samsung announced it has developed a 16 gigabit NAND chip using a 50 nanometre process. The chips, he claimed, will expand NAND flash not only for phones and PDAs, but also as an alternative to mini hard drives and laptop hard drives.
Densities of NAND devices will allow the creation of memory cards of up to 32GB using 16 of the devices.
Samsung said that the cell size of the flash memory has been reduced by 25 per cent to 0.00625 square microns per bit, with the 16Gbit device holding 16.4 billion functional transistors.
Mass production of these devices will start in the second half of next year, said Hwang.
