The first 128 Gb NAND chip...

Intel and Micron will start production of small chips of 16 GB for the beginning of next year.

The Intel/Micron couple works well. You talked yesterday about the work that they are together on the cubic hybrid memory. Today, they return to show us the first chip NAND of 128 Gb, or 16 GB, MLC engraved 20 nm.


To complete the picture, two casters have complied with the standard ONFI 3.0, a specifically studied for the NAND interface which supports the order of 400 MB/s transfers announced in March 2011,. requiring less connecteusr, which makes the task of designing the circuits between the simpler chips. 16 GB chips can therefore be used in upcoming smartphones, tablets and even SSD which will arrive soon.


Coming to paste as much space of storage in a small chip, Intel and Micron have used a new structure to work around the current constraints in integrating new batteries of bridge between the cells. IMFT, Im Flash Technology, the joint-venture of Intel and Micron NAND, will propose models of test of these chips next January and could launch mass production for the middle of next year. In the meantime, the IMFT increases the rate of production of the 8 GB chips also engraved 20 nm.
