YAVNE, Israel, December 17, 2015  — ORBOTECH LTD. (NASDAQ: ORBK) today announced that SPTS Technologies, an Orbotech company and a supplier of advanced wafer processing solutions for the global semiconductor and related industries, has supplied CEA-Leti, one of Europe’s largest micro- and nanotechnologies research institutes, with its industry-leading vapor HF etch release systems for 300mm microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) on CMOS development. Installed in 2015^[1] at CEA-Leti’ state-of-the-art facility in Grenoble, France, the Monarch300 joins the 200 and 300mm etch, CVD and PVD systems previously … Read More → "Orbotech Announces SPTS Technologies Has Installed a 300mm MEMS Vapor HF Etch Release Solution at CEA-Leti"

Sunnyvale, CA, December 10, 2015 – Zeno Semiconductor today announced its novel 1-transistor Bi-SRAM (bi-stable, intrinsic bipolar) memory technology at the IEDM Conference. Zeno’s 1-transistor Bi-SRAM uses a single transistor as the memory bitcell and is therefore 5x smaller than conventional SRAMs which use 6-transistor bitcells (6T-SRAM). When implemented in 28nm, the high density Zeno, which is 37% smaller than Samsung’s recently-announced world’s-smallest 6T-SRAM bitcell of 0.040 ?m2 implemented in the company’s 10nm process technology, and 5xBi-SRAM cell size is 0.025 ?m2 smaller than the conventional 0.127 ?m2 SRAM bitcell at the 28nm node. The IEDM paper is titled “A Novel Bi-Stable 1 … Read More → "Zeno Debuts World’s Smallest SRAM Technology at IEDM Conference"
