Globalfoundries has joined Imec's industrial research collaboration to develop spin-transfer torque magnetoresistive random access memory (STT-MRAM), according to the IC foundry.
Globalfoundries said it is joining a team with a leading fabless company and several worldwide equipment suppliers providing the complete infrastructure necessary for R&D on STT-MRAM.
STT-MRAM technology is a promising high-density alternative to existing memory technologies, like SRAM and DRAM. The potential of STT-MRAM includes performance below 1ns and scalability beyond 10nm for embedded and standalone applications, according to Imec.
"Our unique research environment harnesses the collective expertise and knowledge of the entire value chain, bringing together foundries, IDMs, fabless and fablite companies, packaging and assembly companies, and equipment and material suppliers," said Imec president and CEO Luc Van den hove, in a statement.
Qualcomm is now a core partner of Imec to gain comprehensive insight into all advanced process technologies under investigation at the Belgian nanoelectronics research center, according to Imec's news release on January 28, 2013.
