FREMONT, CA--(Marketwire - February 10, 2009) - 4DS, Inc. is actively
seeking partners to produce its low cost non-volatile memory, a type
of Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAM) that can be made using
significantly less of the manufacturing mask steps than comparable
memory technologies. 4DS, Inc.'s revolutionary RRAM non-volatile
memory exhibits the density of FLASH memory with the speed of DRAM,
and is manufactured using a proprietary process that can easily be
ported into existing semiconductor fabs.
"4DS memory has the potential to replace all existing semiconductor
memories and can be manufactured in a fraction of the process mask
steps above standard CMOS as comparable memory technologies such as
FLASH and DRAM," said Kurt Pfluger, CEO of 4DS, Inc. "The 4DS method
uses existing semiconductor processes and requires fewer changes to
the semiconductor manufacturing equipment, enabling simple
manufacturing through a technology that can be scaled significantly
farther than NAND or NOR FLASH."
"Partnering with an industry leader will enable a leapfrog
opportunity to displace the $60B semiconductor memory market and take
in embedded memory applications as well," said Pfluger.
4DS, Inc.'s RRAM is a high-capacity non-volatile memory with fast
switching speeds measured below 5ns, and with an endurance of 1
billion write/read cycles. RRAM has the potential to become the front
runner among memory technologies. RRAM exhibits lower programming
currents than PRAM or MRAM without sacrificing programming
performance, retention or endurance. Compared to PRAM, RRAM operates
at a faster timescale, while compared to MRAM, it has a simpler,
smaller cell structure (MRAM = 16F squared 4DS = 4F squared) Compared
to FLASH Memory and Racetrack Memory, RRAM requires lower voltages
and lower currents and enabling the use in low power applications.
