SanDisk and Qimonda have announced a partnership on multi-cell package (MCP) development and manufacturing using SanDisk's NAND flash (with controllers) and Qimonda's low-power mobile DRAM.

The MCPs will be sold by Qimonda and SanDisk through their existing sales channels to mobile handset manufacturers. Engineering samples are expected to be available for evaluation in the second half of 2007, with mass production planned towards the end of 2007.

According to iSuppli, MCPs continue to be the preferred package type for placing embedded memory into mobile handsets. iSuppli projects MCP revenues in the mobile handset market to reach US$9 billion by 2011 with NAND and mobile DRAM combinations being the vast majority of memory shipped in MCPs.
