Kioxia is aiming for a market cap of over $10.3 billion and to raise $500 million from the offer, The company is currently 56% owned by Bain and Hynix with Toshiba owning 41%. It is the third largest producer of NAND flash. ...
A team from KIOXIA, the inventor of NAND flash memory, is the recipient of the FMS: the Future of Memory and Storage Lifetime Achievement Award for 2024. The KIOXIA engineering team, consisting of Hideaki Aochi, Ryota Katsumata, Masaru Kito, Masaru Kido, and Hiroyasu Tanaka, will accept this prestigious award for its pioneering work in developing and commercialising 3D flash memory. ...
DRAM and NAND Flash revenues are expected to see 2024 increases of 75% and 77% respectively, driven by increased bit demand, an improved supply-demand structure, and the rise of high-value products like HBM, says TrendForce. Revenues are projected to continue growing in 2025, with DRAM expected to increase by 51% and NAND Flash by 29%, reaching record highs. DRAM ASPs ...
Swissbit, the Swiss industrial storage and security specialist, is introducing e.MMCs and SD memory cards with capacities ranging from 4 to 8GB. They are based on 3D-TLC-NAND and optimised for power failure protection, industrial reliability, and high endurance, says the company, which suggests IIoT and smart city applications. e.MMC EM-30 Taking the two products in turn, the Swissbit EM-30 (153 ...
Intel is to sell its NAND business to Hynix for $9 billion. The 3D XPoint product line – Intel’s phase change memory used in Optane SSDs – will not be included in the deal. Optane is a strategic component of Intel’s offering in the datacentre. The US SSD business is included as well as Intel’s NAND fab in Dalian, China. ...
Winbond has added sequential read to QSPI NAND flash memories, startign with its W25NxxxJW. “In sequential read mode, the products achieve the same 52Mbyte/s maximum data rate at 104MHz as in continuous read mode, but with new flexibility to configure the chip’s operation,” according to the company. Key options are now: Error correction: While in continuous read, Winbond W25N devices only ...
Yangtze Memory Technologies (YMTC) says that its 128-layer 1.33Tb QLC 3D NAND flash memory chip, Xtacking2-6070, has passed sample verification for SSD applications. It says it is co-working with multiple controller partners. YMTC has also introduced a generic 128-layer 512Gb TLC (3 bit/cell) chip, X2-9060. In its 128-layer line of products, YMTC’s Xtacking has been upgraded to version 2.0. In ...
NAND Flash demand is expected to be strong, while supply remains tight; both NAND Flash and wafer contract prices are expected to keep increasing, says DRAMeXchange. Whereas 2019 NAND Flash bit demand growth was mostly driven by the PC market, 2020 demand will for the most part come from the server market. The price of client SSD has fallen for ...
On Thursday, Hynix is to hold a ceremony to celebrate the completion of its new flash fab and the running of first silicon. The fab, designated M15 semiconductor is in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province. It cost $13.5 billion. First silicon will be 72-layer 3D NAND. Next year it will introduce 96-layer NAND to the production mix. Samsung is building its ...
3D NAND has become the dominant flash type, reports Digitimes. Micron’s 3D output is 90% of its total NAND output. Samsung’s 3D NAND manufacturing is 85% of its total NAND chip output. Toshiba’s 3D NAND output is 75% of its NAND output. Hynix’ 3D NAND output is 60% of its total NAND output. The price of NAND has fallen 40% ...
