UPDATED: Apple’s new contract with Toshiba, the world’s second-largest supplier of NAND flash processors, should serve as a major boost for the Japanese chip and device manufacturer. Toshiba has been hit hard in its flash business by financial losses in the last two years due to cutthroat price competition with Samsung, the No. 1 flash supplier.
– Apple, maker of
the iPods and iPhones that are sucking up large quantities of NAND flash chips
practically by the minute, announced July 22 that it has entered a long-term
agreement with Toshiba for Toshiba to keep supplying even more of those chips.
Computer and mobile device maker Apple obta…

Innovation@Intel: Expanding Long-Term Memory for Chips
June 16th, 2009 |

While performance-improving cache memory gets a lot of attention, there is an increasing need on today’s chips for programmable read-only memory (PROM) as well. This is used to permanently store information for such user-visible features as code storage and on-chip encryption keys, as well as yield-enhancing functions such as cache repair and post-silicon circuit tuning. PROMs rely on electrical fuses for in-factory programming. Salicided polysilicon has traditionally served as a fuse element in several generations of CMOS technologies, but Intel’s recent transition to high-k metal-gate technology requires a significant shift in fuse design to metal fuses. Intel has developed a new metal fuse-based 3-D high-density PROM technology that is fully compatible with high-k metal gate. The new technology has been developed for Intel’s 32nm process, on which it has a 1.37 square micron cell. It is readily scalable for future logic technologies. Details are being described this week at the 2009 Symposia on VLSI Technology and Circuits in Kyoto, Japan.
