Micron & Intermolecular working together set their sights on memory
Intermolecular has entered into a multi-year technology development and IP licensing agreement with Micron Technology
Intermolecular is not just focusing on compound semiconductors - a recent announcement says the company will collaborate with LED manufacturer Epistar.
Intermolecular has now signed an agreement with Micron, arguably one of the giants in the silicon industry.
The aim of the collaboration between the two firms is to focus on technology development and related IP for advanced memory technologies.
The collaboration will involve development activities at Intermolecular's R&D centre in San Jose and will leverage Intermolecular's High Productivity Combinatorial (HPC) platform.
The venture is also anticipated to provide time-to-market improvements for Micron through acceleration of advanced materials development.
"New materials and device architectures are increasingly needed to meet future embedded and mobile technology requirements, and partnering with Micron in this exciting area is a significant milestone for Intermolecular," says Dave Lazovsky, president and CEO of Intermolecular.
"Micron's global R&D efforts are focused on creating advanced memory solutions, and we believe development of new materials technology is a key enabler to many of our future challenges," says Scott DeBoer, Micron's vice president of research & development."We look forward to working with Intermolecular to enhance our novel materials development efforts."
