Nanometre Scale Devices Announced

Intrinsic claims that, at 50nm, the technology demonstrates ‘excellent switching behaviour’.

“We are delighted to have hit this critical milestone, confirming our theoretical analysis that the devices can be made with nanoscale dimensions,” says CEO Mark Dickinson, “ this means, at last, there will be a simple and low-cost way to integrate non-volatile memory in any chip.”

Using Intrinsic’s technology, any chip designer will be able to embed a non-volatile memory that is as fast to read as SRAM but at a fraction of the cost and power consumption.
