Intel and Micron have its 20nm manufacturing process for NAND.

The microprocessor giant Intel and Micron memory products have their 20nm manufacturing process for NAND flash memory modules that can produce 8GB modules for small electronic devices such as tablet PCs or Smartphones. With this new manufacturing process for NAND flash memory modules are achieved 8GB make it possible to save between 30% and 40% of space compared to current 8GB NAND modules manufactured in 25nm.

In this way the new modules are manufactured in 20nm a revolution in production and design technology of NAND memory and increase even more the leadership of both companies for NAND miniaturization of this technology node is the most cost effective method of increasing production facility, allowing to expand by around 50% capacity (in GB of memory produced) of each of these plants, when compared with the current technological process.

The new 20nm process keeps levels of performance and durability similar to those offered in 25-nanometer NAND technology it replaces.
