SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK) today announced the
introduction of Multi-Level (MLC) NAND flash memory using 43
nanometer (nm) process technology co-developed with Toshiba
Corporation in Japan. This 43nm technology advancement provides
twice the density per chip compared to 56nm 16Gigabit (Gb) process
technology, thus lowering the die-cost while maintaining performance
and reliability. During the second quarter of 2008, SanDisk intends
to begin shipping products using the industry's highest available
density of single-chip MLC NAND flash memory. Shipments will start
with 16Gigabit and will be followed by 32Gigabit in the second half
of 2008.
