SSD enthusiasts know all about SLC, MLC, and TLC, but there are some new acronyms in SSD town: V-NAND and CTF. Samsung announced in a press release last night that it has begun mass production of “3D ...

The part 1 of this two-article series outlined the NAND flash technology and how it transitioned from 2D to 3D NAND flash. The article also explained the current challenges in the way of density ...

Using just two NAND or inverter gates its possible to build a D type (or ‘toggle’) flip-flop with a push-button input. At power-up the output of gate N2 is at a logical ‘1’, ensuring that transistor T2 ...

The flash storage industry seems to have a code of silence on NAND flash technical issues. Search online for how NAND flash fails and you won't come up with much. I recently did a video for LSI, the ...

DRAM makes up the bulk of non-volatile memory in computer systems. Much has been done lately to mix non-volatile storage with DRAM. However, DRAM’s performance and capacity still win out when it comes ...

[Andrew Gibiansky] has just started a tutorial series called Computing with Transistors. It’s purpose is to pull back the many veiled layers between high level languages and the controlling of ...

New VeritySEM ® 5i is the industry`s first in-line 3D CD SEM metrology system for volume production of advanced 3D devices Proprietary electron-filtering technology for high-aspect-ratio imaging, ...

Amorphous oxide semiconductors like IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) offer acceptable carrier mobility with very low leakage.

Integrating 2D materials into conventional semiconductor manufacturing processes may be one of the more radical changes in the chip industry’s history. While there is pain and suffering associated ...
