PAM,

you are probably referring to the item 23.3 on page 66 of the ISSCC2008:
128.100.10.145

A 45nm Self-Aligned-Contact-Process 1Gb NOR Flash with 5MB/s Program Speed

A 1Gb NOR flash implemented in a 45nm self-aligned-contact process is presented. While delivering 5MB/s programming performance, the chip achieves over 50% cost-per-bit reduction over the previous technology node. Design effort concentrates on the periphery circuitry and design rules to reduce die size.

So it's rather 50% cost-per-bit reduction than reduction in size. I'd like to know the previous technology node to compare with. Is it 65nm Strataflash?

IMHO Numonyx wants to show a way how to survive with NOR flash until 32nm or 22nm PCM takes off.
Regards
