The complete semiconductor memory market in brief for the year 2022
The storage capacity of semiconductor memory is growing in proportional to the growth of generated data whose storage volume is running in the range of hundred of zetta bytes. Latest three-dimensional multi-storey structured high density NAND flash memory made using semiconductor nodes of 5 nm and lower is replacing nearly all kinds of older other backup memory technologies including magnetic and optical.
High-performance artificial intelligence based computing demand large sizes of DRAM memory. Servers, personal computers, smart phones, and industrial computers are updated with large DRAM capacities to enhance the performance of computing in these devices. DRAM also uses nearly similar manufacturing technology what NAND flash memories uses to increase density of storage.
NOR Flash memory is used to store the software program of embedded systems. Manufacturers of microcontrollers and SOC chips are trying to integrate larger NOR Flash memory capacity on-chip. Also the slow growth of size of software code is no way comparable to exponential growth of data. Due to these reasons, growth of external NOR Flash memory chips is not that proportional compared to growth of NAND Flash memories.
The another major semiconductor memory SRAM is nearly part of processor. More and more SRAM is made available on the chip. When internal SRAM space is not sufficient, this cache...
