YMTC 232-layer TLC NAND (X3-9070)

YMTC's fourth-generation 3D NAND and first 200+ layer product: a 232-layer TLC die with 1Tb (128GB) density on the Xtacking 3.0 architecture, unveiled August 2022 and in mass production from late 2022. NAND market contract prices roughly tripled through the 2025-2026 memory supercycle.

Context

Notes

  • YMTC does not publish chip pricing; per-GB NAND contract prices (e.g. 512Gb TLC wafer) are TrendForce subscription data, so the public trajectory is captured as quarterly QoQ changes (currency field '%')
  • Mass production of 232-layer 3D NAND achieved late 2022 (https://www.techpowerup.com/301629/)
