SanDisk App's
Manufacturing processes are often underrated because most people never care or ask about the "how" and instead just focus on the "what" but this time, we're giving a shout out to the incredibly underrated manufacturing process making it easy to stack incredibly tiny chips into a small vertical space, completely optimizing on space to double how much storage capacity you could have without increasing the size of your memory card.
SanDisk can do it by a combination of shaving down chips until they're very thin, and then assembling them and wiring them up in packages that take up no more space than ordinary, single-layer chips.
SanDisk uses the technique to put 8 memory chips in a 1mm thick microSD card, enabling them to cram 32GB into a space the approximate size and thickness of your pinkie fingernail. As App's continue to grow and fit into smaller mobile devices, SanDisk is ready to fill the memory void.
