Volume Production Scheduled for the Second
Half of 2014
SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), a global leader in flash
storage solutions, today announced the availability of its
1Z-nanometer (nm) technology, 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.
“We are thrilled to continue our technology leadership with the
industry’s most advanced flash memory process node, enabling us to
deliver the world’s smallest and most cost effective 128 gigabit
chips,” said Dr. Siva Sivaram, senior vice president, memory
technology, SanDisk. “We are delighted that these new chips will
allow us to further differentiate and expand our portfolio of NAND
flash solutions.”
The 15nm technology uses many advanced process innovations and
cell-design solutions to scale 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 to deliver NAND
flash solutions with no sacrifice in memory performance or
reliability. SanDisk’s 1Z technology will be utilized across its
