  Toshiba is considering a public offering of its Toshiba Memory spinoff the proposed $18 billion sale to a consortium led by Bain Capital doesn't receive regulatory approval by March 31, according to reports.

  The Financial Times reported that an IPO is one of the contingency plans being considered by Toshiba executives in the event that regulatory approval isn't granted by the end of the Japanese fiscal year. The report, which cites unnamed persons said to be familiar with Toshiba's plans, said some analysts and Toshiba shareholders favor IPO over the existing deal to sell to a group include Bain, Apple, Dell and others.

  Toshiba has been working for nearly a year to sell its highly profitable memory chip business to help offset massive losses incurred by its U.S. nuclear power subsidiary. After several false starts, Toshiba struck a deal with the Bain-led group last September. However, the deal remains subject to the approval of regulators.

  Toshiba is no longer under pressure to sell the spin off as quickly as possible after the company raised $5.4 billion in capital through an offering of new stock last year.

Toshiba Memory Corporation develops 96-layer BiCS FLASH with QLC technology
Toshiba Memory Corporation today announced that it has developed a prototype sample of 96-layer BiCS FLASH, its proprietary 3D flash memory, with 4-bit-per-cell (quad level cell, QLC) technology that boosts single-chip memory capacity to the highest level yet achieved.Toshiba Memory will start to deliver samples to SSD and SSD controller manufacturers for evaluation from the beginning of September, and expects to start mass production in 2019.The advantage of QLC technology is pushing the bit count for data per memory cell from three to four and significantly expanding capacity. The new product achieves the industry’s maximum capacity [1] of 1.33 terabits for a single chip which was jointly developed with Western Digital Corporation.This also realizes an unparalleled capacity of 2.66 terabytes with a 16-chip stacked architecture in one package. The huge volumes of data generated by mobile terminals and the like continue to increase with the spread of SNS and progress in IoT, and the need to analyze and utilize that data in real time is expected to increase dramatically. That will require even faster than HDD, larger capacity storage and QLC products using the 96-layer process will contribute a solution.A packaged prototype of the new device will be exhibited at the 2018 Flash Memory Summit in Santa Clara, California, USA from August 6th to 9th.Looking to the future, Toshiba Memory will continue to improve memory capacity and performance and to develop 3D flash memories that meet diverse market needs, including the fast expanding data center storage market.
