— Before 2000, especially in the 1970s and 1980s, the storage capacity of DRAM increased significantly. There was a saying in the storage semiconductor industry that the new generation DRAM with a fourfold increase in storage capacity would be mass-produced in three years. Although mainstream users have evolved from Main flames in the 1970s to Workstations in the 1980s and PCs in the 1990s, DRAM manufacturers have not let down the tradition of "three years and four times".
From the overview of silicon chips published by the International Society of Sciences (ISSCC), the research and development status of DRAM is as follows: initially, it was the maximum storage capacity. In the e...

— The upward trend of memory prices started with DRAM and has now expanded to NAND Flash. The combination of production reduction and demand recovery has successfully turned losses into profits. It is expected that the pace of performance improvement for Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix will also accelerate.
Samsung Electronics expects NAND prices to rise by 10% to 15% in the fourth quarter of this year. It is expected to increase by another 10% to 20% in the first half of next year.
The actual increase in NAND prices has already begun. The price of universal 128 Gb NAND for storage cards and USB devices has increased by 1.59%. This is the first rebound since July 2021.

vilsion, Nov, 15, 2023
— What is the difference in production capacity between 8 inches and 12 inches? Currently, 12 inches is the top priority in the entire semiconductor industry, with an expected average compound growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4% from 2022 to 2027, while the 8-inch annual compound growth rate during the same period is only 1.4%.
The main reason for this is that many semiconductor equipment factories no longer produce 8-inch devices. Currently, only second-hand 8-inch devices are circulating in the market, and there are even some OEM factories that choose to build 12-inch factories to expand production capacity, but still use 8-inch technology.
Perhaps everyone may think that advanced process...
