SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES TIMARIS order
SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES announced the sale of a TIMARIS thin-film deposition system for MRAM wafer production to GRANDIS in Silicon Valley/USA. The two companies also signed a collaborative agreement on advanced TMR film development for MRAM (magnetic random access memory).
Dr. Yiming Huai, CTO and VP Engineering of GRANDIS remarked that "the newly-developed SINGULUS TIMARIS system allows us to accelerate the development of our STT-RAM technology". STT-RAM extendable to the 65 nm node and below.
Roland Lacher, CEO of SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES, commented:
"The collaboration with GRANDIS is important to our company and is aimed at developing new TMR thin-film processes on the TIMARIS platform. TMR technology will be a key element in the production of next-generation MRAM."
SINGULUS delivered its first TIMARIS system for MRAM applications in 2005. The company achieved a breakthrough when the first order was placed for a production TIMARIS system for TMR (tunneling magneto resistive) thin-film heads in the magnetic hard disc drive industry.
