Kioxia Collaborates with Linus Media Group for In-depth Flash Memory Fab Video

Tokyo – Kioxia Corporation, a world leader in memory solutions, today announced that Linus Tech Tips recently released a video from their visit to Kioxia’s Yokkaichi Plant in Japan. One of the largest and most advanced flash memory production facilities in the world, Kioxia’s Yokkaichi Plant is also a smart factory powered by cutting-edge digital infrastructure. More than 3 billion data points stream from the production lines every day, enabling sophisticated AI-driven insights that support precision manufacturing at scale.

The newly released video has already received over 1 million views within the first 24 hours. It takes viewers on a journey with Linus Sebastian, showing how raw silicon is transformed into flash memory chips and SSDs that power the products and infrastructure we rely on every day -including laptops, mobile phones, data centers, automobiles, and countless connected devices. The tour includes rare access to Kioxia’s flagship Fab 7 (Y7), showing stages of wafer and die processing before they become KIOXIA BiCS FLASH™ 3D flash memory.

Linus highlights the remarkable engineering behind Kioxia’s 32-die stacked memory chips, demonstrating how the Y7 facility brings together advanced process controls, automation, and cleanroom discipline to deliver the reliability and performance that modern applications require. Viewers also learn what distinguishes Y7 from typical semiconductor fabs, including the highly automated material handling systems and the integration of real-time, data-driven decision making.

During a visit to one of the manufacturing lines, Linus explores how Kioxia turns individual memory dies into finished flash memory, covering everything from packaging concepts to final testing. The video then follows the journey of those memory components as they are assembled into SSDs.
