July 23 2014 - 8:00AM
Micron's Advanced Semiconductor Process Technology Wins Prestigious
Industry Awards
BOISE, Idaho, July 23, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:MU), and TechInsights today
announced that Micron has been honored with both the Most
Innovative Memory Device and Semiconductor of the Year awards for
their 16nm NAND Flash memory technology in TechInsights'
11th Annual
Insight Awards.
TechInsights, the leading technology and IP
consulting firm, conducted extensive research and analysis on
multiple semiconductor designs. They chose to recognize Micron's
industry-leading 16nm NAND Flash memory for overcoming the major
scaling challenges currently facing Flash technology. Micron's 16nm
NAND Flash enables the high-capacity, small form factor Flash
storage solutions that are in demand in consumer and data center
applications for their ability to increase performance and power
efficiency. Micron's 16nm NAND Flash is currently in full
production and is the foundation for one of the most popular solid
state drives (SSDs) in the market today.
"Advancing process technology is critical to
meeting our customers' demands for smaller and faster storage
solutions," said Scott DeBoer, Micron's vice president of research
and development. "We are honored to be recognized by such a
renowned firm and are proud of our engineering team's success
keeping Micron at the forefront of solid state storage
technology."
"This latest engineering innovation from Micron
stood out from competition for the impact it has made in today's
fast growing Flash-based storage industry," said Jason Abt, VP of
Technical Services at TechInsights. "Micron's 16nm NAND Flash
memory technology pushed the boundary of Flash storage density by
overcoming the scaling challenges with current lithography."
The Insight Awards recognize achievements in the
semiconductor and electronics industry and are one of the most
highly regarded awards for technical innovation at the
semiconductor level. Winners are chosen independently from a
judging panel consisting of senior analysts and engineers to ensure
that devices submitted for consideration are evaluated on the
merits of their design and technical achievements.
