Micromem looks to enhance its memory offerings with recently filed patents for silicon germanium and silicon designs

Micromem Technologies is pleased to announce the company has significantly enhanced its product offering as a result of the foundry success with its MRAM design. With the success of the GaAs version the company can now look to enhance its memory offerings with recently filed patents for silicon germanium and silicon designs. Micromem plans to announce market release dates for each memory option in the future. The company’s sales and marketing effort is now being divided between MRAM and sensors.

Micromem also announces that its foundry success has enabled the company to explore the lucrative magnetic sensor market. The ultra low power, high sensitivity Hall cross sensor, is a strategic component of the non-volatile random access memory design. Based on business development contacts and sharing foundry results with key verticals, Micromem has now expanded its portfolio into the following key markets:

  • Defense
  • Healthcare
  • Mining and mineral exploration
  • Manufacturing and quality control/defect detection
  • Consumer applications

The Phase One foundry time line is now complete. Memory testing data has been shared with the foundry client base. The Phase One foundry scope has proven out the business value of Micromem’s patent portfolio. The company is developing its memory and sensor array products using the same underlying processes.
