Samsung’s new technology for producing fusion memory

15 March 2009

Samsung Electronics is one of the largest electronics companies that have developed many novel technologies in the area of advanced memory technology and it has recently announced the success of 40-nanometer process technology. The company has started production of eight gigabit fusion memory chip. The name of this new advanced fusion memory chip is kept as Flex-One NAND and these memory chips provide both SLC and MLC NAND in single cost effective chip.

Although the development of Flex-One NAND was started in the year 2007 using the advanced 40 nanometer technology, the company has launched the chip recently and Samsung expects a growth in productivity over the earlier designed 4 gigabit (GB) chip that was produced with 60 nanometer technology. The applications of these Flex-One NAND chips will enhance to full HDTV, IPTV and many more applications in the high end electronics applications.

40 Nanometer technologies has many advantages over the conventional technology and the major advantage is that this technology offers cost effective benefits to consumers for memory selection and at the same time the designers can have the advantage of flexibility of selecting either portion of SLC or MLC for a particular design through simple adjustment in the software. This technology will also enhance the speed and reliability during processing of both code and data.

Samsung has also launched software that will support moviNAND in 8 GB Flex-One NAND, which will benefit the handset designers to design the state of art next generation phone devices. These new generation high end phones will have much higher memory allowing them to transfer data at much higher speed.
