A nonvolatile memory technology which is denser, faster and more cost-effective than conventional Flash memory technology is now closer to production.

A nonvolatile memory technology which is denser, faster and more cost-effective than conventional Flash memory technology is closer to production, thanks to the continued efforts of Freescale Semiconductor to optimise the properties of silicon nanocrystals Freescale has manufactured the world's first 24Mbit memory array based on silicon nanocrystals, a major step toward replacing conventional floating gate-based Flash memories

The 24Mbit memory array technology was manufactured at Freescale's Austin Technology and Manufacturing Centre using 90nm CMOS bulk technology.
