Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:MU) announced today that it has started the deployment of the Applied Materials E3(TM) framework within its 300 millimeter (mm) fabrication facilities. E3 is an integrated engineering system that allows sophisticated control strategies aimed at increasing product performance, raising product yield and improving quality.

Micron introduced the RealSSD P300 solid-state drive (SSD), bringing faster system performance and improved data integrity to enterprise environments. The RealSSD P300 drive features the SATA 6-gigabits per second (Gbps) interface, a first for the enterprise SSD market. The new P300 SSD delivers extraordinarily high steady-state input/output operations per second (IOPS), up to 44,000 reads and 16,000 writes--more than 15 times the write performan...

Intel and Micron Technology announced the delivery of 3-bit-per-cell (3bpc) NAND flash memory on 25-nanometer (nm) process technology, producing the industry's highest capacity, smallest NAND device. The companies have sent initial product samples to select customers. Intel and Micron expect to be in full production by the end of the year.

The Open NAND Flash Interface (ONFI) Working Group, the organization dedicated to simplifying integration of NAND Flash memory into consumer electronic devices, computing platforms, and industrial systems, today introduced its new ONFI 2.3 specification, which includes the EZ-NAND protocol. EZ-NAND, which stands for error correction code (ECC) Zero NAND, was designed to remove the burden of the host controller to keep pace with the fast changing ...
