In 1984, Toshiba developed a new type of semiconductor memory called flash memory (NOR), leading the industry into the next generation ahead of its competitors.
Then various flash memory such as NAND flash and BiCS FLASH™ were developed, and these have been used in a variety of memory cards and electronic equipment. The flash memory market has grown rapidly, with flash memory becoming an internationally standardized memory device. KIOXIA, the inventor of flash memory, has carved out a path to a new era in which we are all able to carry videos, music and data with us wherever we go.
