Today Yangtze Memory Technologies Co. (YMTC) officially announced that with its ground-breaking technology – Xtacking, YMTC is able to mass-produce 64-layer 3D NAND flash now.

Currently, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are applying a 90-layer process to production of 3D NAND flash. SK Hynix began to mass-produce 96-layer NAND flashes after completing their development last year. Samsung plans to launch 100-layer NAND flashes in the second half of this year. Now YMTC succeeds in mass production of 64-layer NAND flashes, its technology gap with Samsung Electronics will significantly narrow to around two years.
