Saifun Grants New License to Infineon for Development of Flash Memory Products
Saifun NROM® is a leading-edge non-volatile memory technology developed by Saifun Semiconductors that is currently used for NAND-Flash, NOR-Flash and EEPROM. Incorporated in Infineon products under the trade name TwinFlash, Saifun’s NROM technology currently stores two locally -separated bits in one transistor cell. Compared to competing single-bit-per-cell floating-gate technologies with equivalent process structures, TwinFlash offers 40% smaller die sizes due to its two-bit-per-cell approach, as well as lower mask levels. As a result, Saifun NROM®-based memory products have achieved a competitive position in terms of production costs.
“IFL has demonstrated its ability to develop Saifun NROM®-based products, to produce these products at high volume and to bring them to the market place,” says CEO of Saifun Dr. Boaz Eitan. “The new licensing agreement marks a major milestone for Saifun.”
