Solid-state non-volatile storage devices

CPC v2.1 Code: 4755

About solid-state non-volatile storage devices

cpc code 4755 covers the manufacturing of solid-state non-volatile storage devices, which are a critical component of modern digital technology. These storage devices, such as flash memory and solid-state drives (SSDs), play a vital role in powering a wide range of electronic devices, from smartphones and laptops to industrial equipment and data centers. The importance of this industry cannot be overstated, as the demand for reliable, high-capacity, and fast data storage continues to grow in line with the increasing reliance on digital information and the need for efficient data management.

Production process

The production of solid-state non-volatile storage devices typically involves a complex process of semiconductor fabrication. This includes the deposition of thin films, lithography, etching, and doping to create the necessary transistor structures and memory cells. Advancements in materials science and manufacturing techniques have enabled the development of increasingly dense and efficient storage solutions, with continuous improvements in capacity, speed, and energy efficiency.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of solid-state non-volatile storage devices include silicon wafers, which serve as the base material for the semiconductor components, as well as various chemicals, gases, and specialized equipment such as clean room facilities, deposition chambers, and lithography tools. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce of engineers, technicians, and scientists to design, develop, and manufacture these advanced storage solutions.

Production outputs

The primary output of the solid-state non-volatile storage devices industry is the storage devices themselves, which are then incorporated into a wide range of electronic products and systems. These storage devices are consumed by industries such as 3020 Manufacture of computers and peripheral equipment, 2620 Manufacture of computers and peripheral equipment, and 2630 Manufacture of communication equipment, among others, as they are essential components for data storage, processing, and transmission.
