Intel and Micron has come along to entertain the whole digital world.
IM Flash Technologies a name that representing the joint venture of both companies. The main aim of newly developed venture is only to bring out
NAND flash memory. A sharp and intense research and development program conducted by
IMFT has multiplied twice of
NAND density in around every 18 months.
IMFT has begun producing the 50nm in 2006 after that they moved to 40nm process in 2008 year. This venture defiantly brings pocket-size, inexpensive along higher memory capacity of flash-based
NAND product.
The
IMFT has been made a public announcement on 1-February-2010 for their 25 nanometer
NAND product. This step will surely lead a crucial advancement for the company. Presently,
IMFT claims to the world’s smallest semiconductor processed memory flash drive in electronic market. The companies expressed the achievement such as:
“To lead the entire semiconductor industry with the most advanced process
technology is a phenomenal feat for
Intel and
Micron, and we look forward to further pushing the scaling limits,” said Brian Shirley, vice president of Micron’s memory group. “This production technology will enable significant benefits to our customers through higher density media solutions.”
“Through our continued investment in
IMFT, we’re delivering leadership technology and manufacturing that enable the most cost-effective and reliable
NAND memory,” said Tom Rampone, vice president and general manager, Intel
NAND Solutions Group. “This will help speed the adoption of solid-state drive solutions for computing.”
Well, company believing that they will shortly present the number of high tech and economical product in front of the world. The
IMFT following the way to introduce its 1st product and 1st monolithic 8GB
NAND device, size 167mm2 which is quite enough to fit through the middle hole of compact disc, in end of the 2010 year. This product has containing double storage captaincy of its 34nm semiconductor product.
