'Industry's largest' embedded nand flash memory modules unveiled
Toshiba has announced a 128GB embedded nand flash memory module, which it claims is the highest capacity yet achieved in the industry.
The module is compliant with the latest e•MMC standard, and is designed for application in a range of digital consumer products, including smartphones, tablet pcs and digital video cameras.
The new embedded device integrates 16 64Gbit (equal to 8GB) nand chips fabricated with Toshiba's 32nm process technology and a dedicated controller into a package of 17 x 22 x 1.4mm. Toshiba says it is the first company to successfully combine 16 64Gbit nand chips, and applied advanced chip thinning and layering technologies to establish individual chips that are 30micrometers thick.
Samples will be available from September, and mass production will start in the fourth quarter (October to December) of 2010.
