    Toshiba launches 19nm process NAND flash memory

    The worlds finest process yields single chips with a 64 gigabit capacity

    Dsseldorf, Germany, 26th April 2011 Toshiba Electronics Europe, reinforcing itsleadership in the development and fabrication of cutting-edge, high density NAND flashmemories, today announced that it has fabricated NAND flash memories with 19nm*1process technology, the finest level yet achieved. This latest technology advance hasalready been applied to 2-bit-per-cell 64-gigabit (Gb) chips that are the world's smallest andoffer the highest density on a single chip (8 gigabytes (GB))*2. Toshiba will also add 3-bit-per-cell products fabricated with the 19nm process technology to its product line-up.

    Samples of 2-bit-per-cell 64-gigabit will be available from the end of this month with mass

    production scheduled for the third quarter of the year (July to September 2011).

    Toshiba leads the industry in fabricating high density, small die size NAND flash memorychips. Application of the 19nm generation process technology will further shrink chip size,allowing Toshiba to assemble sixteen 64Gbit NAND flash memory chips in one package andto deliver 128GB devices for application in smartphones and tablet PCs. The 19nm processproducts are also equipped with Toggle DDR2.0, which enhances data transfer speed.

    As the market for mobile equipment, such as smartphones, tablet PCs, and SSDs (solidstate drives) expands, demand for smaller, higher density memory products grows. Byaccelerating process migration in NAND flash memory, Toshiba aims to reinforce and extendits leadership in the NAND flash memory market.
