Sidense to Present at Silicon Valley Flash Memory Summit

Presentation Will Discuss a Unique Antifuse-Based One-Time Programmable (OTP) Bit Cell as an Alternative to Flash, ROM and eFuse in Many Applications


OTTAWA and SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwire - August 7, 2009) -


What
Jim Lipman, Marketing Director at Sidense, will make a presentation on: "A
Novel Embedded OTP Memory Bit Cell Based on Oxide Breakdown."  The talk
will describe an antifuse-based split-channel OTP bit-cell architecture
based on predictable and irreversible thin-oxide breakdown.   The bit cell
is at the heart of a field-programmable, very small, highly secure, and
very reliable embedded memory that does not require any additional masks or
process steps when implemented in a standard-logic CMOS process. The bit
cell is scalable down to 40nm and below.
