Samsung 20nm NAND flash memory for SDHC cards : Samsung, the world leader in advanced semiconductor technology solutions, announced the industry's first production of 20 nanometer (nm) class NAND chips for use in Secure Digital memory cards and embedded memory solutions. Based on this cutting-edge technology, the introduction of 32 gigabit (Gb) MLC NAND will expand the company's memory card solutions for smart phones, high-end IT applications and high-performance memory cards. Samsung Electronics first began producing 32Gb NAND with 30nm class process technology in March 2009. Now it is shipping SD card samples to customers that are built with 20nm-class 32Gb NAND flash chips and will expand production later this year.
