Key developments for Micron Technology Inc. (MU)

Micron Introduces New NAND and Low-Power DRAM Multi-Chip Packages Built on the Most Advanced Processes

Micron Technology Inc. announced the company has combined the 34-nanometer(nm) 4Gb SLC NAND flash memory and 50nm 2Gb LPDDR to produce the most advanced NAND-LPDDR MCP combination in the market. Micron's new 4Gb NAND-2Gb LPDDR MCP is targeted at smart phones, personal media players and emerging MIDs where small form factor, low-cost and power savings are critical features. Micron is currently sampling the 4Gb NAND-2Gb LPDDR MCP with customers and expects to be in volume production in early 2010. The 4Gb NAND-2Gb LPDDR combination is targeted at mainstream densities in mobile devices, but Micron has the flexibility to support higher densities--up to 8Gb NAND and 8Gb LPDDR--as the mobile market integrates sophisticated multimedia functionality. Visit the Micron Innovations blog to learn more about Micron's new MCP products and read an insider's perspective on the shifting mobile memory landscape.

Micron Technology Inc., Annual General Meeting, Dec 10, 2009

Micron Technology Inc., Annual General Meeting, Dec 10, 2009, at 09:00 US Mountain Time. Location: 8000 South Federal Way, Boise, ID 83716-9632,United States. Agenda: To elect directors to serve for the ensuing year and until their successors are elected and qualified; to approve the company's executive officer performance incentive plan; to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Independent registered public accounting firm of the company for the fiscal year ending September 2, 2010; and to transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Micron Technology Inc. Introduces New Line of 34nm Multi-Level Cell NAND for Enterprise Storage Systems, Providing 6x the Endurance

Micron Technology Inc. is meeting customers' requirements by announcing that it has leveraged its 34nm NAND process to manufacture an MLC Enterprise NAND device, which provides enterprise organizations a way to cost-effectively and reliably double their flash-based enterprise storage capacity (since MLC provides twice the capacity in the same die size as SLC). Micron's new MLC Enterprise NAND device achieves 30,000 write cycles--a 6x increase in endurance when compared to standard MLC NAND. And for enterprise applications that are more performance driven, the company also introduced a 34nm SLC Enterprise NAND device that achieves 300,000 write cycles--a 3x increase in endurance when compared to standard SLC NAND. Additionally, leveraging the full performance capability of NAND, Micron's newest Enterprise NAND products also support the ONFI 2.1 synchronous interface, delivering a 4-to 5x improvement in data transfer rates when compared to legacy NAND interfaces. Micron's 34nm Enterprise NAND portfolio includes a 32Gb MLC NAND chip and a 16Gb SLC NAND chip that can be configured into multi-die, single packages supporting densities up to 32GB MLC and 16GB SLC, respectively. The company is now sampling its Enterprise NAND products with customers and controller manufacturers, and is expected to be in volume production in early 2010. For further explanation on Micron's Enterprise NAND products visit Micron's Innovations blog to catch a video that describes how the company leveraged its mature 34nm NAND process to achieve these levels of reliability.
