Imagine a world without Flash Memory!
Without Flash there would be no convenient
way of reprogramming embedded systems
in the field - i.e. no easy post-sale
bug fixes, no product sales before standards
are ratified, and no remote software upgrades.
The cellular phones, digital cameras,
MP3 players and countless other everyday
electronic devices that we take for granted
would not be as portable, adaptable, and
affordable without Flash.

Fujio Masuoka has spent the majority
of his career working on the R&D
of semiconductor memories including
Flash memory, EEPROM, EPROM, DRAM,
and SRAM. He has also gained considerable
