Recently, Intel and the beautiful light (Micron Technology) promoted uses 50 nanometer crafts manufactures 4Gb capacity NAND to dodge saves the preview. According to the beautiful light indicated, this component by two companies' joint capital enterprise IM Flash production. In several days ago, the Tristar electron announced postponed 8G NAND to dodge saves the chip delivering goods, because this company was developing each unit to save four bits data NAND to dodge saves the technology. But the beautiful light indicated that, this time hand in hand promotes with Intel is the capacity is the 4Gb preview, they plan in 2007 the quantity to produce each kind of capacity the memory, uses 50 nanometer crafts technologies. According to the profession research forecast, NAND will dodge the market scale which will save in 2006 to achieve 130 to 16 billion US dollars, and will develop to 2010 about 25 billion to 30 billion US dollars. Beautiful light memory service vice- president Brian Shirley said that, "the beautiful light enters NAND in 2004 to dodge saves the service, at that time used 90 nanometer technological processes. In the very short time, through cooperates with Intel, we now already were allowed leading to promote the field to dodge save the product." Establishes since January, 2006, IM Flash Technologies (IMFT) already started to deploy its manufacture equipment. Now, the beautiful light provides NAND through oneself in the Boise factory to this family joint venture to dodge saves. 2006 year's end, will be located Manassas 300 millimeters factories on the line, will be IMFT supply NAND to dodge save. At the same time, at the beginning of 2007 IMFT factory also will be completed in Lehi, and will take its base company.
