Micron Technology announced plans to produce NAND Flash memory solutions targeting memory cards, USB devices and other mass storage applications.
"By leveraging our manufacturing prowess, advanced process and product technology, and capital investment, Micron plans to break into the market as one of the top three suppliers," said Jan du Preez, Micron's vice president of Networking and Communication. "Micron is entering the NAND market aggressively, starting with the introduction of our first device on 90nm followed by process migrations to 72nm and then 58nm. Our NAND roadmap reflects multiple configurations and density migrations up to 16 Gbytes. We anticipate ramping production quickly to meet the forecasted market demand."
By the end of 2004, Micron anticipates bringing its first NAND Flash solution, a 2-Gbyte component, to market. With the Flash card market starting to transition from 128-Mbyte to 256-Mbyte density NAND as the volume leader, the 2-Gbyte density enables Micron to offer the right NAND Flash density at the right time to meet these core removable storage market requirements.
