Intermolecular's High-Throughput Experimentation Platform Speeds Discovery of Next-Generation Non-Volatile MemoriesSAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Intermolecular, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMI), the trusted partner for advanced materials innovation, today announced its High-Throughput Experimentation Platform for materials discovery for selectors used in next-generation non-volatile memory technology (NVM) in 3D Crosspoint architectures. Using both PVD and ALD technologies to evaluate chalcogenides, IMI has demonstrated its value proposition of performing a high number of experiments in a short period of time, for evaluating a wide range of complex and/or toxic materials in a rapid and cost effective manner. This allows customers to dramatically speed the screening, discovery and implementation of the right selector materials, while also ensuring their suitability for high-volume manufacturability and reliability. "The rapid move towards next-generation NVM memories in 3D Crosspoint architectures has created a critical need for current steering devices or selectors," said Milind Weling, senior vice president of Programs and Operations at Intermolecular. "Chalcogenides are promising selector materials but the specific elements and composition spaces showing selector behavior per specific key performance metrics is not well known. Using our High-Throughout Experimentation platform, combined with Intermolecular's extensive know-how and experience with advanced memories and chalcogenides, we can dramatically speed the discovery and reliable characterization of these challenging materials compositions for emerging NVM devices." The Key Element in Next-Generation Volatile Memories Upcoming Presentation at Flash Memory Summit (FMS)
Intermolecular is also chairing a "Chat with the Experts" table over beer and pizza on Resistive Random Access Memories (RRAM). Topical co-chairs for the RRAM table are: Mark Clark, senior director, Technology and Joy Watanabe, senior director, Customer Enablement.
