Samsung Electronics just unveiled a multi-chip package (MCP) sample that stacks a 64MB NAND flash memory as well as a low power-consuming 32-megabit Uni-transistor (Ut) RAM. Moving on, the company has started shipping samples to mobile handset manufacturers.

However, Samsung forecasts its sales in the data storage market can alone reach $800 million this year. For the upcoming year, the company aims to be among the world’s top five flash memory makers.

Recently, Samsung has selected new executives for the foundry and memory businesses, as part of a year-long reorganization. The company has announced that Choi Si-young will be the new head of their foundry business and Lee Jung-bay the new CEO of the memory business unit.

Moreover, Dr. Jung has played a crucial role in developing many innovative technologies that greatly increased Samsung’s leading position in the semiconductor market. Choi Ji-young was previously head of the Samsung Memory Manufacturing Technology Center.

With the advanced technologies developed under his leadership, Samsung was able to become the first in the industry to mass-produce 20nm and 10nm-class DRAM, 3D Vertical NAND, and SoCs based on 14 and 10nm FinFET process technologies.

Dr. Jin has progressed through key technical and leadership positions across Samsung’s memory business and successfully led the development of numerous flagship memory products and technologies.

He has been responsible for bringing key next-generation memory technologies to market and directing the development and commercialization of industry-first DRAM processes from the 80-nanometer (nm) class up to the 10nm-class generation.

The South Korean tech giant has not replaced its three co-CEOs, indicating market possibilities. Under Dr. Kim’s leadership, Samsung’s memory business continues to maintain its top market share and technology leadership with first-to-market products in DRAM, NAND flash, and solid-state drives (SSD) for more than a decade.

After joining Samsung Electronics in 2010 as a chief director at the DMC lab in San Diego, he has been working at Samsung as executive vice president in charge of R&D and commercialization of cellular baseband/RF chipsets, as well as software for 2G, 3G, and 4G. Similarly, Samsung will be announcing an executive-level reorganization in the coming days.
