A New Model for the Memory Industry

The last decade of business in memory industry can be summed up in one word: losses. The memory industry is clearly overdue for a new business model that can restore profitability to memory manufacturers, while still driving technology forward for the most demanding memory customers.

Unity Semiconductor’s BEOL Memory™ is that new business model that can change the dynamics of the memory industry, as it results in the smallest die size, manufactured at low cost per bit.

Unity Semiconductor’s BEOL Memory™ manufacturing strategy calls for it to form a joint venture partnership(s) for volume production with a top-tier IDM already in the memory business.

Unity Semiconductor and its memory joint venture partner(s) will benefit from:

  • State-of-the-art non-volatile memory with 4x the density of today's NAND Flash
  • Focusing research and development (R&D) resources and manufacturing investment only on advancing CMOx™ memory technology, and not on scaling the underlying CMOS transistors.
  • Tight control of Unity's intellectual property (IP) on CMOx™ memory technology as applied to BEOL Memory™. 

Unity Semiconductor’s memory customers will benefit from:

  • State-of-the-art non-volatile memory products produced at low cost-per-bit.
  • Large single chip memory density in a small die
  • Faster memory writes and faster overall system performance.
