Nanometer 16 Gigabyte NAND Flash Memory Storage
SAMSUNG Samples First 50-nanometer 16Gb NAND Flash for Solid
State Disk and Other High-density Applications
 Samsung Press Release Summary:
Seoul , Korea – January 3, 2007 : Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.,
the world leader in advanced semiconductor technology solutions,
announced that it is now sampling its 16-gigabit (Gb) NAND flash
memory with customers – the first NAND flash using 50 nanometer
(nm) process technology.
The first samples of this high density NAND flash memory have a
multi-level cell (MLC) design with a 4Kbyte (KB) page size to
enhance both its read and write features. The new 4KB page
function improves the conventional 2KB paging system for MLC
NAND flash to double the read speed, while increasing write
performance 150%.
By nearly doubling the overall performance of Samsung's MLC NAND,
mobile consumers will enjoy faster data transfer speeds when
storing or reading large data files whether they're using an
external memory card, or a handset with a built-in flash
solution such as Samsung's moviNAND TM.
Early market introduction of 16Gb and higher density NAND flash
memories is expected to accelerate the adoption of non-volatile
memory applications such as flash-based solid state disks.
Samsung plans to begin mass producing its 16Gb NAND flash memory
in the first quarter of 2007.
