(InfoWorld) - In response to demand for ever-smaller cell phones, STMicroelectronics announced the availability of a new type of memory chip packaging technology on Wednesday. Package-on-Package technology allows certain components to be assembled in a vertical stack, offering space savings to mobile phone makers. The technology is particularly helpful in the construction of high-end mobile phones with high-density memory and complex processor combinations, STMicroelectronics said. Package-on-Package technology also offers manufacturers flexibility in how they combine components and design their products. By employing the technology, manufacturers can also source and test the memory system and logic device separately. The technique can simplify assembly on multimedia mobile phones. A variety of components can employ the Package-on-Package configuration, including NOR Flash and NAND Flash. The Joint Electron Device Engineering Council, the standard-setting body for the semiconductor industry, is currently working on defining a specification for the technology, STMicroelectronics said. Mobile phones support a growing array of functions including video recorders and players, cameras, and music downloads. These capabilities demand increasing memory and processing power, requiring larger components that often boost the size of devices. Mobile phone makers are keen to employ technologies that can help keep the final products small.

(InfoWorld) - Samsung Electronics showed off its first 40-nanometer chip, a 32Gb NAND flash memory that can be used in memory cards able to store up to 64GB of data, or 40 movies. The latest step into smaller chip manufacturing methods brings Samsung to the forefront of chip production putting it ahead of other bit manufacturers, including Intel, which has onlyÂ announced chips built at 45nm. The chips are also the seventh generation of NAND flash memory to follow in a Moore's law-type theory posited by Samsung, that the company will double the capacity of NAND flash every 12 months. Such advances are vitalÂ to the consumer electronics industry. Users are demanding ever smaller devices that can do more, such as handsets with built-in mobile phone, computing, camera, and digital music playing functions. Demand for more storage to keep photos, videos, songs and other data has expanded rapidly over the past few years, and analysts expect the trend to continue. The 40nm chip production technique is key to making chips smaller, faster, more powerful, and cheaper to produce. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, and the measurement is a guide to the size of the transistors and other parts that are etched onto the chips. Typically, the more transistors, and the closer they are together, the faster the chip can perform tasks. The company also revealed a new design technique, Charge Trap Flash (CTF), that will allow it to eventually shrink NAND chip features to 20nm, and produce 256Gb chips. In the 32Gb chips, the control gate in the CTF is only a fifth as big as conventional control gates on chips in a typical floating gate structure. With CTF, there is no floating gate. Instead, data is temporarily placed in a holding chamber made of silicon nitride. Samsung also released a new chip for its hybrid drives, a kind of hard disk drive aimed at laptops that uses NAND flash as a disk cache, to speed boot-up times and reduce power consumption The new chip, dubbed an SoC (system-on-chip) because it does the work of several chips, incorporates up to 4GB of NAND flash as a data buffer and helps further speeds boot-up times while lengthening battery life, the company said. The chips will be in mass production in November. Samsung is one of several companies working on hybrid drives. Seagate TechnologyÂ and IntelÂ are also developing the technology for notebook computers.
