Enabling computers to think and act quicker

Forget everything you know about memory

Today’s computers are transforming almost all forms of human behaviour. In particular, artificial intelligence based on machine learning is helping us work more effectively, improve healthcare, live happier lives and take more care of our environment. A fundamental part of all these computing systems is the memory needed to store data

The power to change everything

Intrinsic is working to transform semiconductor memories, making them both more efficient and more powerful. We aim to deliver a non-volatile memory that can not only be easily integrated on the same chip that is doing the computation, but a memory that is faster, cheaper and lower energy than the Flash memory we use today

A powerful
partnership

To achieve this goal, Intrinsic has partnered with imec, a leading semiconductor R&D facility. Headquartered in Leuven (Belgium), imec leverages its state-of-the-art R&D infrastructure and its team of about 4,000 expert scientists to drive open innovation

Small devices,
Large brains

Intrinsic aims to solve the 50-year embedded memory problem.

We are building:
A dramatically better embedded memory
A technology that will support innovation in IoT and AI
A product that is relevant to every chip in the $500 Billion semiconductor market

Direct integration

Our technology exploits silicon dioxide – one of the most microelectronics-friendly materials there is. We use industry-standard fabrication and simple processes. CMOS-compatibility is one of our core values and strengths

Low power consumption

Direct integration enabled by our silicon oxide devices reduces power consumption by orders of magnitude compared to external Flash whilst offering vastly superior performance

Low cost

Simple materials, simple design and CMOS compatibility make our technology low cost, yet high performance

Secure

The more computing power we can integrate into microcontrollers and edge processors, the less they need to communicate with the Cloud. That means less danger of data being intercepted
