SK Hynix mass produces 16nm NAND flash memory already
SK Hynix announced that it has started full-scale mass production of 16nm 64Gb(Gigabit) MLC(Multi Level Cell) NAND Flash, which uses the industry’s thinnest process technology.
SK Hynix has been mass producing its 1st version of the world’s first 16nm NAND Flash since June and recently has started to mass produce the 2nd version which is more cost competitive due to its smaller chip size. In consequence, the Company geared up for strengthening its competitiveness in NAND Flash.
Also, the Company has developed 128Gb(16GB, 16Gigabytes), the highest density in a single MLC chip, based on the specification and endurance of 16nm 64Gb MLC. The product is planned to be mass produced from the beginning of next year.
Generally, the thinner process technology shrinks the more frequent interferences among cells occur, but SK Hynix applied up-to-date Air-Gap technology to overcome the interferences among the cells. The Air-Gap technology builds insulation shield with vacuum holes(Air) between circuits not with insulating substances.
“After the Company developed and started to mass produce the industry’s thinnest 16nm product then now prepared high density NAND Flash product portfolio thanks to the development of 16nm 128Gb MLC”, said senior vice president Jin Woong Kim, the Head of Flash Tech Development. “The Company plans to actively respond to our customers’ demands with the NAND Flash products which have high reliability and endurance” he added.
SK hynix will strengthen its competitiveness in NAND Flash solution while accelerating the development of TLC(Triple Level Cell) and 3D NAND Flash.

they will lie as always.
No NAND manufacturer in their sane mind will tell us on white paper exactly how and when a chip will actually die.
Which makes for faster larger capacity drives an brings prices down so all for it, interesting that down to 16nm already. Be interesting to see write endurance levels for these 16nm NAND flash chips.

Theirs few sites out there testing ssd endurance of samsung 840 pro/evo, kingston 3k.. think they hit 200TB of writes so far, an still no drives showing signs of failing yet.

i know,i am not bashing their quality ,i am just pissed off that they always come up with numbers and never reveal exactly the real deal.
they give you a wide margin and tests.but nothing goes on white paper.

sorry for going overboard with this
