Micron Technology has started production of NAND flash memory on a 34nm process technology.

The multi-level cell (MLC) NAND devices will have 16- and 32Gbit densities.

The 16Gbit MLC NAND chip measures just 84mm².

Micron is also now sampling 8- and 16Gbit single-level cell (SLC) NAND chips using the 34nm process.

Both memory devices feature an ONFI 2.1 synchronous interface that delivers transfer speeds of up to 200Mbyte/s.

This is fives times faster than SLC NAND devices.

This speed is necessary to support the move towards solid state drives using a SATA 6Gbit/second interface.
