BOISE, Idaho, 2013-07-16 14:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Micron Technology,
Inc., (Nasdaq:MU) today announced that it is sampling next-generation,
16-nanometer (nm) process technology, enabling the industry's smallest
128-gigabit (Gb) multi-level cell (MLC) NAND Flash memory devices. The 16nm
node is not only the leading Flash process, but it is also the most advanced
processing node for any sampling semiconductor device. It solidifies Micron's
leadership position in storage technology development and delivers on the
company's vision to provide the most advanced semiconductor solutions.

Micron's 128Gb MLC NAND Flash memory devices are targeted at applications like
consumer SSDs, removable storage (USB drives and Flash cards), tablets,
ultrathin devices, mobile handsets and data center cloud storage. The new 128Gb
NAND Flash memory provides the greatest number of bits per square millimeter
and lowest cost of any MLC device in existence. In fact, the new technology
could create nearly 6TB of storage on a single wafer.
'Micron's dedicated team of engineers has worked tirelessly to introduce the
world's smallest and most advanced Flash manufacturing technology,' said Glen
Hawk, vice president of Micron's NAND Solutions Group. 'Our customers
continually ask for higher capacities in smaller form factors, and this
next-generation process node allows Micron to lead the market in meeting those
demands.'
'Cost reductions will always be fundamental to the NAND industry and so
companies who can continue to lead on the flash process technology will be
poised for success, particularly in vertically integrated solutions,' according
to Gartner.*
Micron is sampling the 16nm, 128Gb MLC NAND with select partners now and plans
to be in full production in 4Q13. Micron is also developing a new line of
solid-state drive (SSD) solutions based on these devices and expects to ship
SSDs with 16nm Flash in 2014.
