Under the terms of the agreement, the companies are collaborating on the establishment of MoSys' 1T-FLASH on SMIC's manufacturing processes. MoSys' 1T-FLASH is an extremely high density NOR flash replacement and is being implemented on SMIC's pure logic CMOS processes. No additional process masks or materials are required.

MoSys' 1T-FLASH will offer developers of mobile devices, such as cellular phones, and developers of embedded microcontrollers significant cost advantages over current-generation solutions.

"Together with SMIC, we can offer a very compelling solution for SoC designers who want to integrate large amounts of high-performance flash memory," said Chet Silvestri, president and CEO of MoSys.
