| Novocell Semiconductor Announces NVM IP Tape Out at IBM 45nm | | |
April 9, 2012 -- Novocell Semiconductor, Inc. has announced the successful tape out of the firm's NovoBlox family NVM at IBM 45-nm SOI process. Novocell completed the advanced 45-nm node with a confidential customer who commonly services markets ranging from military to heavy industrial to consumer electronics. The customer chose IBM's foundry for this silicon project, and selected Novocell's intellectual property (IP) based upon the technology's reputation for 100% reliability, history of innovation, and licensing flexibility.
All Novocell NovoBlox family NVM IP products avoid the limitations of traditional embedded NVM technology by utilizing the patented dynamic programming and monitoring process and method of the Novocell SmartBit, ensuring that 100% of embedded bit cells are fully programmed. The result is Novocell's 100% yield and exceptional reliability, guaranteeing that data is fully programmed initially, and will remain so for an industry-leading 30 years or more. Moreover, Novocell IP based on the SmartBit does not require complex manufacturing technology changes, but utilizes standard CMOS manufacturing processes, without masking or additional fabrication processes. Novocell NVM IP scales to meet all NVM size and complexity challenges that grow exponentially as SOCs continue to move to advanced nodes such as 45nm and beyond.
