MRAM: Next generation memory technologyRiber launches an innovative robotic system in 300mm SEMI process modules07/02/2009
Riber has launched a new innovative robotic system, the MPVD300 reactor. Based on a high vacuum deposition system (UHV)
and compatible with existing silicon FAB industry standards, the MPVD
300 provides unrivalled precision of control and composition uniformity
defects of less than 1% over 300mm (monoatomic layer precision). Fully automated, Riber's MPVD300 is the only modular system for high vacuum deposition that can beconnected up directly to the silicon production line. The first system will be shipped in July to a major manufacturer in Asia. Tower to make MRAM chips for Crocus, also invests 1.25M$06/18/2009
Crocus aims to start making the chips towards the end of 2009. NEC to commercialize perpendicular MRAM chips in 201006/17/2009
NEC and NEC Electronics employed a new method called "spin torque domain wall displacement write method" to reduce write current and realize microfabrication at the same time. In fact, they aim to reduce the current by as much as 90%. They were also able to increase speed to 500Mhz. This technology is not 'new', it was announced in 2007, but now they have a test chip ready. NEC working on perpendicular MRAM06/15/2009
Details are not very clear as the translation is not so good... Hopefully more details will emerge soon. Magnetic Nanoparticles06/02/2009
This interdisciplinary approach to the topic brings together reviews of the physics, chemistry, fabrication and application of magnetic nanoparticles and nanostructures within a single cover. With its discussion of the basics as well as the most recent developments, and featuring many examples of practical applications, the result is both a clear and concise introduction to the topic for beginners and a guide to relevant comprehensive physical phenomena and essential technological applications for experienced researchers. From the Back Cover: Micromem Raises $375,000 in a Private Placement05/19/2009
They will use the proceeds from the offering for general working capital purposes. Everspin has shipped more than 100K MRAM chips to Siemens05/17/2009Everspin has shipped more than 100K 4Mbit MRAM chips to Siemens’ Industry Automation division. Siemens uses the MRAM in an industrial touch-screen application. They have reported zero field failures over the last two years. EverSpin MR2A16 Chips
Siemens uses Everspin MRAM to maintain software-programmable logic controller (SoftPLC) process data for its Simatic Multipanel MP 277 and MP 377 multi-panel human machine interface (HMI) products without battery backup. |
