SSD enthusiasts know all about SLC, MLC, and TLC, but there are some new acronyms in SSD town: V-NAND and CTF. Samsung announced in a press release last night that it has begun mass production of "3D ...

Using just two NAND or inverter gates its possible to build a D type (or ‘toggle’) flip-flop with a push-button input. At power-up the output of gate N2 is at a logical ‘1’, ensuring that transistor T2 ...

Toshiba today announced the development of the first 48-layer, three-dimensional flash memory. Based on a vertical stacking technology that Toshiba calls BiCS (Bit Cost Scaling), the new flash memory ...

The part 1 of this two-article series outlined the NAND flash technology and how it transitioned from 2D to 3D NAND flash. The article also explained the current challenges in the way of density ...

Samsung has announced production of the first solid state drives (SSD) based on its new 3D V-NAND flash memory. V-NAND flash memories read and write twice as fast as conventional NAND memories, and ...

NAND flash memory is among the key components used in today's popular consumer technology products. The birth of NAND flash could be credited to two Bell Labs researchers who fabricated the world's ...

The non-silicon switching technology in 3D XPoint is priceless. Intel and Micron are dropping 3D NAND as a result. But memory will not be the most profitable use of this technology. Source: Jim Handy, ...

Intel delivered updates at its Technology and Manufacturing Day held in Beijing, China, on Sept. 19. Disclosures included power and performance updates for Intel’s 10 nm process, high-level plans for ...

The NAND flash technology that Toshiba introduced in 1989, making thumb drives, SSDs and your smartphone’s memory possible, has finally reached a development dead end. Toshiba and other major ...

3D is the memory chip buzzword du jour, because reducing feature sizes is expensive, while stacking memory cells up is much less so. Fabs can use older, stable processes to build larger capacity chips ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Organic semiconductors have long held promise for enabling deformable electronic devices that can be manufactured at low cost and high volumes using printing techniques. However, ...
