About Innovative Silicon

Innovative Silicon Inc. (ISi) is the inventor and licensor of the Z-RAM[R] ultra-dense memory technology for stand-alone DRAM and embedded memory applications. Z-RAM is the world's lowest-cost semiconductor memory technology - simpler to manufacture than DRAM, and a fraction the size of SRAM. ISi and the Z-RAM technology have received numerous industry awards, including the World Economic Forum's selection of ISi as a 2008 Technology Pioneer, and by the IEEE Spectrum Magazine selection of Z-RAM as the 2007 "Emerging Technology Most Likely to Succeed." Z-RAM is a "Zero Capacitor," true single-transistor floating body memory that eliminates the complex capacitor found in today's DRAM technologies - the fundamental roadblock to Moore's Law scaling. Z-RAM provides semiconductor manufacturers with a solution to ultra-small manufacturing processes which dramatically lowers semiconductor costs. The Z-RAM memory technology has been licensed by Hynix Semiconductor for use in its DRAM chips, and by AMD for use in microprocessors. Since 2003, the company has closed three funding rounds totaling $47 million, received over 25 patents on the technology, developed test chips in multiple technologies from 90nm to 32nm, and has established global R&D and support centers in Europe, Asia and North America.
