MOSAID Technologies has filed an amended answer and counterclaim in its litigation with Infineon Technologies in the Northern District of California.

MOSAID has added a new patent to its suit, accusing Infineon of infringing US patent No.6,067,272 covering a delay locked loop (DLL) circuit for use in synchronous DRAM.

In February 2003, MOSAID filed a counter-suit against Infineon for infringement of seven of MOSAIDs US patents.

George Cwynar, president and CEO of MOSAID, says: "The delay locked loop patent is a valuable component of our intellectual property portfolio. The memory industry is rapidly adopting DLL techniques as high-speed double data rate (DDR) SDRAM memory becomes mainstream."

MOSAID currently has eleven companies on notice for patent infringement and is in active licensing discussions with several of them. On December 11, 2002, Infineon Technologies North America Corp., filed claims against MOSAID Technologies seeking a declaratory judgement of patent noninfringement, invalidity and unenforceability of the seven MOSAID patents with respect to Infineon DRAM products.

AngelTech Live III: Join us on 12 April 2021!

AngelTech Live III will be broadcast on 12 April 2021, 10am BST, rebroadcast on 14 April (10am CTT) and 16 April (10am PST) and will feature online versions of the market-leading physical events: CS International and PIC International PLUS a brand new Silicon Semiconductor International Track!

Thanks to the great diversity of the semiconductor industry, we are always chasing new markets and developing a range of exciting technologies.

2021 is no different. Over the last few months interest in deep-UV LEDs has rocketed, due to its capability to disinfect and sanitise areas and combat Covid-19. We shall consider a roadmap for this device, along with technologies for boosting its output.

We shall also look at microLEDs, a display with many wonderful attributes, identifying processes for handling the mass transfer of tiny emitters that hold the key to commercialisation of this technology.

We shall also discuss electrification of transportation, underpinned by wide bandgap power electronics and supported by blue lasers that are ideal for processing copper.

Additional areas we will cover include the development of GaN ICs, to improve the reach of power electronics; the great strides that have been made with gallium oxide; and a look at new materials, such as cubic GaN and AlScN.

Having attracted 1500 delegates over the last 2 online summits, the 3rd event promises to be even bigger and better – with 3 interactive sessions over 1 day and will once again prove to be a key event across the semiconductor and photonic integrated circuits calendar.

So make sure you sign up today and discover the latest cutting edge developments across the compound semiconductor and integrated photonics value chain.
