Following The Yen
By Dan Tracy - 17 Oct, 2013 - Comments: 0

An examination of the installed fab capacity base in Japan shows that total capacity expansion has stalled in recent years due to the consolidation and closures of facilities. The closure and consolidation of 27 facilities between 2009 and 2012 reduced the installed fab capacity in Japan by at least 350,000 200mm equivalent wafers per month. With that said, investments continued in some industr... » read more

What Is Going On With Sub-20nm Flash?
By Gill Lee - 15 Aug, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Gill Lee This week I’ll be participating in a panel discussion at the Flash Memory Summit in Santa Clara, CA. The panel’s topic, Flash Below 20nm: What is Coming and When?, couldn’t be more timely. Particularly in light of a leading NAND manufacturer’s recent announcement that they will begin mass production of the semiconductor industry’s first 3D vertical NAND flash memory later... » read more

How To Reduce The Need For Guardbanding A Flash ADC Design
By Various Writers - 28 Mar, 2013 - Comments: 0

For sensitive mixed-signal designs at small process nodes, the influence of parasitic elements is growing with the increasing interactions among devices and interconnects that are in close proximity. Circuits are highly sensitive to these parasitic effects, and accurate parasitic extraction is critical for first silicon success. New 3D parasitic extraction technology applied to a flash ADC circ... » read more

The End of the DRAM Era – Flash Spending Surpasses DRAM
By SEMI - 06 Oct, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Clark Tseng, SEMI Industry Research and Statistics, Taiwan The semiconductor memory industry has a long history of fluctuating market cycles. The DRAM sector in particular has gone through a few bad cycles and witnessed quite a few consolidations in the past ten years or so.  However, DRAM continues to be one of the most important and capital intensive sectors in the semiconductor indust... » read more

The Age Of No-Spin Doctors
By Ed Sperling - 25 Aug, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Pallab Chatterjee Solid-state flash memory still isn’t cheap, but performance, reliability and power have transformed it from a niche market into a mainstream one. And it’s about to get even more popular. At the recent flash memory summit, the majority of the sessions focused on the further penetration of NAND flash into the consumer electronics product segment. NAND technology alrea... » read more
