FLASH PACKAGING: WHAT PHONE MAKERS WANT & WHY
Now Available
Cell phone handsets are the most important market for flash multichip packages.  Although there is widespread sentiment that the NOR/PSRAM stack in current handsets will soon give way to NOR/NAND stacks, NOR/LP-DRAM stacks, NAND/LP-DRAM stacks, Objective Analysis has found compelling evidence that this is not the case. This report investigates how and why the MCP market behaves as it does, and is designed to help chip makers and chip purchasers understand the market and plan their strategic moves.
