NAND Flash
A non-volatile memory chip technology that retains data when power is removed. It is widely used in SSDs, smartphones and data centers, and together with DRAM forms one of the two mainstream categories of memory chips.
Timeline (last 90 days)
SK Hynix is currently already the world's second-largest NAND manufacturer.
SK Hynix is weighing building a new NAND flash chip plant in the United States.
NAND flash is a type of non-volatile memory chip that does not lose data when power is cut, and is widely used in solid-state drives (SSDs), smartphones, USB drives and data center storage.
NAND and DRAM are together the two mainstream types of memory chips, but NAND focuses on capacity and persistent storage, while DRAM focuses on high-speed temporary reading and writing.
NAND manufacturing relies on precision processes such as extreme ultraviolet lithography and high-aspect-ratio etching, with enormous equipment investment, and a single advanced plant often costs more than ten billion dollars.
The US Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) administers semiconductor equipment through lists under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), with advanced logic chips (such as 7 nanometers and below) placed in the highest control tier, while memory chips such as NAND and DRAM are generally not regarded as the areas most directly related to national security.
SK Hynix is a world-leading supplier of DRAM and NAND flash memory.
China accounts for approximately 30% of global DRAM and NAND flash memory consumption
Yangtze Memory Technologies Co. (YMTC) has achieved 232-layer stacking technology in the NAND flash memory field
NAND flash memory has undergone a technological evolution from SLC and MLC to TLC and QLC.
