SanDisk: ‘World’s Most Advanced’ NAND Flash Manufacturing Node

By TechTaffy Desk

SanDisk

SanDisk has made available its 1Z-nanometer (nm) technology, what the company calls the ‘most advanced NAND flash process node in the world.’ The 15nm technology will ramp on both two bits-per-cell (X2) and three bits-per-cell (X3) NAND flash memory architectures, with production ramp to begin in the second half of 2014.

The 15nm technology scales the chips along both axes. SanDisk’s All-Bit-Line (ABL) architecture, which contains proprietary programming algorithms and multi-level data storage management schemes, has been implemented in the 1Z technology.

SanDisk’s 1Z technology can be utilized across its broad range of solutions, from removable cards to enterprise SSDs, says the company.
