MEMTEK,LLC
MEMTEK,LLC is a company that has as its aim the development, implementation and marketing of the novel Non-Volatile
Mmories.
One such technology is the highly reliable SimpleEE Non-Volatile cells and technology,ideally suited
for embedded applications, patented by Dr. John Caywood, which are uniquely suited for applications in the embedded field.
This technology currently has multiple licensees and has been successfully implemented in multiple fabs and multiple
technology nodes. The users include:
Microchip Technology, Inc.:-----for use in microcontroller applications;
Medtronics, Inc. :------------------for use in Medical technology;
MAXIM, :-----------------------------for use
in mixed signal ics;
austriamicrosystems AG. :----use in high reliability analog and digital applications in automotive
and industrial markets;
MEMTEK,LLC has the right to develop, implement and license the technology and cell in
applications where robustness, reliability, power and cost are prime concerns. It is also a very high temperature technology
capable of full Military and Automotive range operation.
Other technology areas that MEMTEK is actively persuing
are low current cells and High reliability cells for NAND applications. These include the CATE-TG cell and technology and
the Location-Specific (Nitride) NAND cell and technology. Both are patent pending at this time.
The LS-NAND cell
is unique in that it separates the program and erase functional areas of the NAND. This solves the erase limitations of the
Nitrade based NAND structure and provides an independantly controllable erase operation of the Nitride based NAND cell.
MEMTEK,LLC is comprised of a group employees and partners who are experts in the area of Non-Volatile memory technology
and design.
Caywood-trust which has full ownership and rights to the SimpeEE patents is one of the partners of
MEMTEK. The Caywood Trust is represented, as Trustee by the General Partner, Mrs. Pamela Caywood. The other partner
at is: The Thomas Family Trust represented by Mr. Mammen Thomas -General Partner- Technology,Process Integration, Quality
and Reliability; and the contributors are Mr Jagdish Pathk and Mrs. Saroj Pathak as VPs of design and test, and Mr. Jim Payne- Design Manager- Design and lay out.
The average experience
of the the employees of the company in semiconductor field is over 30 years.
The company also has design, process
simulation, design simulation, layout and verification capabilities in house.
MEMTEK, LLC holds the right to license
(with rights to sublicense) and use any and all of the Caywood patents and related patents belonging to the partners. We are
able to provide any licensee with additional resources and support in the area of process integration, technology development,
design, test, qualification, and reliability testing. In fact we can provide the complete project help to implement the embedded
or stand alone non-volatile memory.
THE EMBEDDED TECHNOLOGY: The SimpleEE cells have been our primary emphasis
in the past two years. The SimpleEE cell has been developed for single poly and double poly processes. The double poly cell
can be considered one of the smallest high reliability EEPROM or flash cell for embedded application today. The emphasis of
MEMTEK is the implementation of the Double-Poly SimpleEE cell and technology, while we will implement the Single-Poly technology
selectively for selected customers.
Currently MEMTEK is looking for partner companies to develop and implement
the patent pending high density technologies in addition to the embedded technology. As the interest levels in Nitride based
NAND technology is high for future scaling of the high density technology, it is our aim to partner with major manufactureres
to bring this cell and technology to the market.
