Samsung 73nm NAND Flash Recognized as Most Innovative Process.OTTAWA -- Semiconductor Insights (SI), the leader in technical and patent analyses of integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. and electronic systems, today announced that it has awarded Samsung's 73nm NAND Flash See flash memory. the 2005 INSIGHT Award for Most Innovative Process. "DRAM no longer leads the roadmap for lithographies and feature size," said Edward Keyes, Vice President and CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization. See CIO and salary survey. for SI. "Samsung's launch of a flash memory at the 70nm technology node See technology generation. marks the first time that DRAM has been surpassed as the device type with the smallest feature size." NAND Flash is gaining increased traction Traction Definition Traction is the use of a pulling force to treat muscle and skeleton disorders. Purpose Traction is usually applied to the arms and legs, the neck, the backbone, or the pelvis. as a high volume storage solution. With the introduction of larger capacity devices at smaller process nodes, portable devices are rivaling their larger counterparts. NAND flash has even been proposed as a solution for non-portable consumer products, such as computer hard drive storage. Recent SI analysis of available technologies positions Samsung as the process leader. "Samsung's Flash strategy," stated Keyes, "is clearly to aggressively pursue scaling to achieve high density and small die size rather than multi bit per cell technology."
