South Asia science and technology said it was ready to enter the first step in the flash market OEM

According to Taiwan media reports, said Taiwan memory manufacturer Nanya technology veterans day ago, South Asia is considering entering the NAND flash manufacturing field.

Lien, President of South Asia science and technology Jih March 15th at the start of the 300 mm wafer chip factory ceremony made the above statement. Lien said, Nanya technology has already begun and NAND flash industry peers that enter flash contact, prepare for the market.

For South Asia science and technology production flash plan, Lien does not provide a specific roadmap or timetable, but he said that the first step in South Asia to help other companies foundry production of flash memory chips is a good choice.

The president said that the transfer of memory manufacturers from the DRAM to the NAND flash memory is not much technical difficulty, and does not require additional equipment, but the most critical of which is the patent problem of the production process. At present, most of the patents are in the hands of several giants, so the establishment of an independent South Asian Science and technology NAND flash technology R & D team will be very necessary.

According to the semiconductor industry association (SIA) estimates that this year the global flash market will grow 15.9% to $21 billion. In the market, Samsung occupy a 50% market share, Toshiba is 22% micron, and modern separation three or four. Industry analysts believe that the South Asian Science and technology to obtain a place in the flash market still has a long way to go.
