Crocus Technologies Inc. claims that it has qualified its manufacturing environment for the development and prototyping of its MRAM technology.
Based on a 130-nm CMOS process, Crocus' MRAM is being made at an undisclosed foundry. The company is also leveraging SVTC Technologies Inc.'s R&D foundry service to complete the integration of its second-generation MRAM technology.
To complement these two facilities, Crocus has invested more than 5 million euros to purchase a full suite of dedicated magnetic-technology wafer processing tools for the deposition, annealing, patterning, and metrology of MRAM memory chips.
Crocus said its technology solves all the problems encountered in MRAM development. The company said its technology has demonstrated its stability, reliability, data retention, endurance, and scalability, while exhibiting high speed, low power dissipation, and resistance to external perturbation.
Crocus is an early-stage developer of MRAM technology for dense, non-volatile, high-speed, scalable RAM memories. Its MRAM technology was conceived in the Grenoble-based Spintec laboratory, an R&D center in Spintronics affiliated with two French labs, CEA and CNRS.
Crocus is backed by VC firms AGF, CDC Enterprises, NanoDimension, Sofinnova Partners, Sofinnova Ventures, and Ventech.
