Embedded memory works on 90nm SoI process
Innovative Silicon has achieved silicon validation of Z-RAM memory arrays on 90nm SoI process technologies.
The newest patent numbers include 7,170,807; 7,187,581; 7,184,298 and 7,177,175.
"These patents demonstrate the level of innovation from the exceptional engineering team at ISi that results in a highly differentiated IP offering", says Mark-Eric Jones, President and CEO of ISi.
"We are committed to continue this innovation in order to constantly improve and expand our Z-RAM memory technology and provide our licensees with the compelling solutions that they need for a wide range of different applications".
ISi's portfolio of patented inventions in the area of ultra-dense semiconductor memory technology that exploits the floating body effect of SOI devices was first presented in 2001 at the IEEE International SOI Conference.
Since that time, ISi's Z-RAM technology has unveiled two generations of its products with Z-RAM Gen2 being announced in December 2006.
The company has also received industry recognition and awards.
Earlier this year, the company was profiled as one of five winners, and the only semiconductor company, in IEEE Spectrum Magazine's "Winners and Losers 2007" listing.
EE Times has also named ISi in its list of 60 Emerging Startups - better known as the "Silicon 60" - each year since the list was created in early 2004.
Dr Serguei Okhonin, the company's Chief Scientist and co-founder, was also named in January as one of the 2007 EE Times' ACE Award Innovator of the Year Finalists.
Further, ISi was awarded the "Best Invention of the Year" status by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in 2002. Request free introductory details about products from Innovative Silicon ...
