January 23, 2004 – Toshiba Corp. said it has developed a multi-chip package that can stack nine layers, with 70-micron chip thickness and an overall thickness of 1.4mm — the same as the company’s 6-layer, 85-micron chip stack.
The package uses a combination of memory chips (SRAM, SDRAM, NOR flash, NAND flash) with a capacity of 776Mb in a sample application.
Toshiba plans to launch the product in May 2004, for use in digital mobile equipment such as camera phones.
