"Memory die" refers to a small block of semiconducting material on which a given functional circuit is fabricated. Typically, integrated circuits are produced in large batches on a single wafer of electronic-grade silicon (EGS) or other semiconductor (such as GaAs) through processes such as photolithography. The wafer is cut (diced) into many pieces, each containing one copy of the circuit. Each of these pieces is called a die. (Search die (integrated circuit) on Wikipedia.com Oct. 9, 2019. Accessed Nov. 18, 2019.) A memory die is a die, in one embodiment, that includes a functional circuit for operating as a non-volatile memory media and/or a non-volatile memory array.
