Gobalfoundries plans thin-film flash storage
INDEPENDENT CHIP MAKER Globalfoundries and Freescale Semiconductor are planning to create a new class of thin film storage (TFS) flash memory using 90nm process technology.
Apparently it will be bunged into Freescale microcontrollers (MCUs) targeted for applications ranging from consumer electronics and household appliances to medical devices and smart metering systems.
Freescale's TFS technology with Flexmemory capability is configurable, electrically erasable programmable read-only memories (EEPROMs). Freescale has used it in both the Coldfire+ and Kinetis families of 32-bit MCUs.
Globalfoundaries has already made a few test chips in its Fab 7 plant in Singapore, and expects to complete technology certification in the first half of 2011.
The 90nm TFS technology differs from other conventional non-volatile memory architectures in that it uses a different silicon nano-crystal technology. This makes it more scalable and gives it better bit-level reliability, speed, power and area characteristics. µ

Just left link on 90 nm flash, eeprom thangee'. meaning READ Only & bit 'o cross talk on Milpitas where FREEscale is located, so just to Add, Nick Ferral ,Sylvia Barak,1967 Psycodelic sounds, Silicon valley, Brandon st Studios, Pan Handle Park & jimi Hendrick show, Haight ashbury.
