Toshiba Corporation developed the first 3D flash memory with the TSV technology in the world

Toshiba Memory Corporation , the world leader in storage solutions, today announced the development of the first ^[1] three-dimensional flash memory in the world (3D) BiCS FLASH ™ ^[2] using the technology through Silicon via (TSV) ^[3] with the technology of three bits per cell (triple cell level, triple-level cell, TLC). Shipments of prototype development purposes began in June and samples of products should be available in the second half of 2017. The prototype of this revolutionary device will be on display from 7 to 10 August as part of the 2017 Flash Memory Summit Santa Clara, California, USA.

“Toshiba develops the first NAND Flash stacked to 16 square features the TSV technology”

Devices manufactured using the TSV technology comprise vias and vertical electrodes which cross microcircuits silicon to provide connections, an architecture which carries an input and an output of data at high speed, while reducing energy consumption . The performance in real situations has been proven previously with the introduction of 2D NAND flash memory from Toshiba ^[4] .

Combining 3D flash process to 48 layers and the TSV technology, Toshiba Memory Corporation was able to increase the bandwidth programming of the product while reducing energy consumption. Energy efficiency ^[5] one box is about twice ^[6] that of the FLASH ™ BiCS same generation made using wire bonding technology. TSV BiCS FLASH ™ also provides a device of 1 terabyte (TB) having a stacked architecture 16 square in a single housing.

Memory Toshiba Corporation will market BiCS FLASH ™ with TSV technology to provide an ideal solution for storage applications that require low latency, high bandwidth and high IOPS ^[7] / watt, including high-end enterprise SSD .
