Nantero qualifies Brewer Science "CNTRENE' material for NRAM
Nantero, a nanotechnology company pioneering the use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the development of next-generation semiconductor devices, has qualified Brewer Science's new CNTRENE 1020 series CNT material for use in NRAM manufacturing. Brewer Science is working with NRAM licensees in production CMOS fabs to utilise the new CNTRENE 1020 series material. Brewer Science is a licensed supplier of CMOS-grade CNT solutions made utilising processes developed by Nantero for use in the manufacture of NRAM devices.

This new generation of Brewer Science CNT materials allows for reduced process costs and improved on-wafer coating performance, consistent with the company's focus on integrated solutions. Greg Schmergel, co-founder and CEO of Nantero, Inc., states, "Brewer Science is a recognised leader in supplying advanced materials for semiconductor processing, with a global customer base, and we are pleased to have them providing our existing and future NRAM customers with fab-ready carbon nanotube material." Thomas Rueckes, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Nantero, will be presenting the latest advancements in NRAM technology at the Leading Edge Embedded NVM Workshop on September 30th, 2013 at Gardanne, France. Nantero is a nanotechnology company using carbon nanotubes for the development of next-generation semiconductor products. The firm's main focus is the commercial introduction of NRAM - a high-density non-volatile random access storage device. NRAM is expected to ultimately replace all existing forms of storage, such as DRAM, SRAM, and Flash memory, with a high-density non-volatile RAM - "universal memory." The applications for the non-volatile RAM Nantero is developing add up to over $100 billion in revenue potential, including the ability to enable instant-on computers and to replace the memory in devices such as cell phones, MP3 players, digital cameras, and PDAs, as well as applications in the networking arena. NRAM can be manufactured for both stand-alone and embedded memory applications. Nantero is also working with licensees on the development of additional applications of its core nanotube-based technology.
