Nanosys joins non volatile memory development programme
1 min read
Advanced materials specialist Nanosys has joined Sematech's Front End Processes (FEP) program and will work with the industry association to develop new materials and processing techniques for extending flash memory technologies.
As a member of this program, Nanosys will collaborate with experts from Sematech's FEP research team and build on Sematech's activities in advanced process integration and materials and device characterisation to extend non volatile memory beyond the 20nm node.
"Sematech is pleased to welcome Nanosys as a partner," said Raj Jammy, pictured, vp of emerging technologies. "Nanosys' expertise in process ready advanced material technology will complement our device and process expertise. We will work together to develop practical and promising approaches to address the continued scaling needs of the fast growing non volatile memory market."
Specifically, Sematech and Nanosys plan to build a material and process infrastructure to enable and extend both planar and future three dimensional non volatile memory technologies.
"SEMATECH provides Nanosys with an excellent development platform for our next generation Quantum Dot Memory technology," said Jason Hartlove, Nanosys' ceo.
