The numbers in nanometer indicate the thickness of electric wires of the microcircuit inside the chip.
The 60-nanometer flash chip was first developed by Samsung in September 2004. It is the fifth NAND flash memory model introduced in line with the so-called Hwang’s Law
The new 60-nanometer chip has a capacity of 8 gigabits. Samsung will stack eight of the 8-gigabit chips to form one 8-gigabyte module. An 8-gigabyte flash memory module can store around 2000 MP3 songs or 225 minutes of DVD-quality video files.
