“Memory” Creates Our Future
Memory is an integral part of modern cultural daily life. As the amount of information generated and stored by humankind continues to increase, Kioxia's products and technology supports the information society of the future on a global basis.
What is Flash Memory?
Flash memory is semiconductor memory that can record and store large amounts of digital data. The most important feature of flash memory is that it is non-volatile, meaning that it retains data even when the power is turned off.
Kioxia invented NAND flash memory in 1987. Building on this technological innovation, in 2007 we announced the world’s first 3D flash memory technology “BiCS FLASH™.” With nearly 40 years of experience in developing advanced technologies, we have established a position as a leading company in the field of flash memory.
Today, flash memory is not only used in digital consumer products such as smartphones and PCs, it has also been widely adopted as a core component of social infrastructure, including AI servers for advancing generative AI, and data centers, which support cloud services. It is growing in importance day by day as a foundational technology supporting our digital society.
Kioxia Group’s Strengths
1. Industry-Leading Technological Capabilities that Deliver a Number of World Firsts
Since the invention of NAND flash memory, we have led the industry in further breakthroughs. We have driven progress with developments such as our BiCS FLASH™ 3D flash memory, introduction of CBA (CMOS directly Bonded to Array) technology, and development of emerging memory and storage technologies. We are steadfastly committed to strengthening our position as a technology leader.
2. One of the World’s Largest Flash Memory Production Volumes
Kioxia Group’s strengths lie in its economies of scale from having one of the world’s largest flash memory production capacities, combining output from its Yokkaichi Plant (Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture) and its Kitakami Plant (Kitakami City, Iwate Prefecture), and in the high production efficiency realized through smart factories leveraging AI and big data. These facilities meet growing flash memory demand with high cost competitiveness, supporting our sustainable growth.
3. Partnerships
Kioxia Group builds strong relationships with customers, R&D partners, and suppliers. We aim to further strengthen these partnerships, develop products and services that anticipate the needs of society, ensure a stable supply of high-quality products, and continuously deliver value to society.
