Betty,

UMC Group played a key role in helping SanDisk develop its patented 256 megabit, D2 technology that doubles the capacity of flash storage products. The process required precision current control to sense and store two bits of data (four states) in each flash cell instead of the typical one bit per cell. The stringent device physics specification, the most challenging part of the process technology, was enabled by UMC Group's manufacturing team. This third generation of SanDisk's double density flash memory has been designed to achieves sustained write rates equivalent to SanDisk's standard (binary) flash design.

As you posted yesterday, I hope that SanDisk has an interest in the 8C and 8F fabs at Hsinchu.

Best of luck to SanDisk longs.

Thanks for the references. I saw the first earlier, but not the second. SNDK is not only the technology leader but also the low cost producer, inasmuch as a double density chip costs less than others of similar capacity.
