Leti Workshop on Innovative Memory Technologies to Include Presentations by STMicroelectronics, Numonyx, IBM and SAMSUNG

GRENOBLE, France — (BUSINESS WIRE) — June 8, 2009 Leti, a leading global research center committed to creating and commercializing innovation in micro- and nanotechnologies, is hosting a workshop on innovative memory technologies at MINATEC on Wednesday, June 24.

The workshop will cover recent advances in semiconductor memory technologies. Topics will range from short-term to long-term memory solutions, including:

- floating-gate and charge-trap non-volatile memories for embedded or stand-alone applications
- resistive memory technologies such as phase-change memories and oxide–based memories
- three-dimensional integration approaches to increase memory density
- innovative ideas covering thin-film memories, molecular memories and new architectures.

The workshop also will feature presentations by leaders in the global memory industry:
STMicroelectronics, Numonyx, IBM and SAMSUNG.

The workshop is part of the 11th Leti Annual Review June 22-24. For more information about the annual review and the memory workshop, including registration options, visit leti.congres-scientifique.com/annualreview2009/.
