Article Abstract:

Manufacturers of flash memories are increasing their production capacities to meet rising demand, particularly from the mobile phone market which is expected to grow by 70% in FY99 to 250 million units. Flash memories are used to store programs and charge information in cellular phone units. As a result, leading makers such as Intel Corp, Sharp Corp, Fujitsu-AMD Semiconductors and Mitsubishi Electric Corp are increasing their production capacity and shifting to large-capacity memories such as 32M-bt and 64M-bit from the 16M-bit models they offer.
