Samsung Electronics has teamed up with Toshiba to expand its domination of the fusion memory chip market.

Korea¡¯s largest electronics maker said Monday that it signed a deal to license its OneNAND and Flex OneNAND fusion memory chip technology to the Japanese company.

Under the deal, Toshiba will produce the fusion memory chips according to Samsung¡¯s specifications, and Samsung will provide technical support when necessary.

The Korean company said the agreement forbids it from revealing the amount of royalties it will receive. But with Toshiba's support, its products will be better positioned to be acknowledged as industry standards and lead the market, it added.

OneNAND and Flex OneNAND are compound NAND Flash chips that enable high-speed downloading in next-generation high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) telecommunications devices.
