NAND flash had phenomenal growth in 2005. DRAM makers investing in NAND production were rewarded with large profits. 90nm and beyond leading-edge NAND flash memories are evaluated in this paper with their processes compared to the same manufacturer's advanced DRAM processes, intending to address the technical benefits for a DRAM maker during its transition to NAND flash production. The technology, manufacturing, and intellectual property barriers for DRAM maker's diversifying into NAND market are also discussed.
