QLC, the NAND Flash memory for the new M.2 SATA and NVMe SSDs

QLC, the NAND Flash memory for the new M.2 SATA and NVMe SSDs

Like all NAND Flashes, these in turn are based on memory cell technology, which has undergone a great evolution as an architecture since their first electronic circuits and although we will not explain in depth how they work. or what is their story, yes. will give a brief review to focus on the current events ...

Layers in NAND Flash memory, is there a limit to the number?

Layers in NAND Flash memory, is there a limit to the number?

Miniaturizing the components is essential in order to be able to increase the densities, because if you reduce the components, you can put more of them occupying the same space; However, manufacturers realized that they could no longer extend their chips horizontally, so they opted to do so vertically by adding more and more interconnected ...

CPU, GPU, RAM and NAND Flash manufacturing with 450mm wafers

CPU, GPU, RAM and NAND Flash manufacturing with 450mm wafers

The size of the wafers on which the chips are made has not always been the same. Overtime these increased in size in order to be able to manufacture more chips per wafer. The current shortage again raises the possibility of increasing platelet size. But, is this a viable solution that can be done in ...

3D NAND flash, layers, performance, density and evolution

The first 3D NAND chip was released in 2013, it was Samsung’s first V-NAND with a capacity of 16 GB and made up of 24 layers. Over time, the number of layers has evolved and today we can find 176-layer 3D NAND configurations. Is there a limit to the number of layers in 3D NAND? ...

eMMC, specifications and functionalities of this Flash memory

EMMC memory chips are commonly used in low power devices that do not require the speed of NVMe, but where the use of drives with moving parts makes it difficult to create extremely compact designs that are common in mobile phones, tablets, handheld consoles and ultrabooks. . What is NAND Flash memory? By memory is ...

NAND Flash technologies, news and features

The reason is that not all NAND Flash technologies are designed for the same type of customer, and solutions that may seem unsuitable for a specific use are not when we talk about other uses. This is why it is important to take this detail into account, because the use of one type of NAND ...

Samsung D1z, just like its NAND Flash and DRAM with EUV

Oddly enough, Samsung and Micron currently have smartphones as their primary market, much more in the case of the former, as they also make their own high-performance SoCs. Getting the most DRAM with EUV is a huge blow to the loser, as there are a number of clear improvements that could tip the scales towards ...
