Lucent Technologies licenses flash memory technology to Winbond

Article Abstract:

Winbond Electronics Corp of Taiwan has received a worldwide license from Lucent Technologies Inc to produce an innovative flash memory chip that requires 1000% less power to program, compared to traditional flash memory chips. The product is based on new technology from Lucent, called Channel Initiated Secondary Electron Injection (CHISEL), which requires less power during the normal read operation of electronic devices. CHISEL will also utilize a design process from Bell Labs that produces features that are 0.35 micrometers or less.
