The lifespan of data on a USB flash drive depends on many factors: Under ideal conditions, data should remain preserved on a ...

Evolving from the EEPROM chip, flash was invented by Toshiba in the mid-1980s and named after its ability to erase a block of data "in a flash." However, this block erasing is flash memory's ...

Researchers find a faster way to etch deep holes for 3D NAND Plasma-based cryo-etching technique doubles etch speed, ...

SanDisk describes HBF as stacking up to 16 layers of BiCS 3D NAND with through-silicon vias (TSVs). A logic layer enables ...

The narrow, deep holes required for one type of flash memory are made twice as fast with the right recipe, which includes a plasma made from hydrogen fluoride.

[Gene] has a project that writes a lot of settings to a PIC microcontroller’s Flash memory. Flash has limited ... Because [Gene] expected one bit to work after it had failed and vice versa ...
