| eMemory and Grace Semiconductor Expand Partnership | | |
October 17, 2011 -- eMemory Technology, Inc. and Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp. are announcing an expansion of their partnership through a shared-resources design platform to develop diverse eNVM solutions. eMemory's OTP (NeoBit), and MTP (NeoFlash/ NeoEE) eNVM technologies will be brought fully into Grace's process platform, and Grace will provide design service support for OTP and MTP IPs. The partnership will provide fully-functional eNVM solutions.
Grace and eMemory began their partnership in 2005 with an OTP process platform. Tens of products currently in mass production use the 0.18-micron, 3.3-V/5-V, low cost, high-performance OTP process platform developed by the two companies. In the newly expanded partnership, the manufacturing platform will now include MTP in addition to the original OTP, and it is estimated that this more comprehensive eNVM process platform will strengthen technical service/support to satisfy even more diverse customer requirements.
Grace Vice President of Corporate Development and Strategy, Dr. Frank Fu states, "By bringing in eMemory's technical and customer support, Grace will provide customers with an extremely competitive, low-cost eNVM process platform, including OTP and MTP technologies, which will drive down customer costs in manufacturing and R&D, and accelerate products' time to market. Moving forward, Grace will continue to develop value-added and differentiated processes."
Grace Semiconductor and eMemory Technology's 0.18-micron logic and high-voltage OTP process platforms are fully built, and have been in the production phase for many years. The 0.13-micron OTP process platform is estimated to pass qualification by the end of 2011. The 0.18-micron MTP process platform is expected to pass qualification by Q1, 2012, and will provide a greater variety of eNVM Silicon IP.
