South Korean electronics and semiconductor giant Samsung claimed a three-dimensional, stacked memory chip breakthrough this week with new technology that shrinks the space needed for stacked chip layers used in mobile phones and other devices. Samsung said by stacking eight 2 gigabit NAND flash memory chips, it could deliver a smaller-footprint wafer-level processed stack package (WSP), a method of stacking silicon chip dies to increase performance while economizing space and energy requirements.
