1-Transistor SRAM Cell Scales to FinFET Technology Node
Zeno’s 1-transistor Bi-SRAM uses a single transistor and is ~5x smaller than a conventional SRAM -- which use 6-transistor bitcells (6T-SRAM) -- at the same technology node. One way to look at a System-on-Chip (SoC) is the proportions of silicon area that are devoted to new logic, reused logic (from an earlier design), and embedded memory. According to Semico Research, in 1999, the area devoted to memory averaged out at 17%. By 2018, embedded memory has become pervasive -- d
Zeno Demonstrates Scalability of World’s Smallest SRAM Bitcell Technology to FinFET Technology Node
1- /2-Transistor SRAM Technology Demonstrated at Standard FinFET Process Technology Sunnyvale, CA, December 5, 2018 – Zeno Semiconductor, a Silicon Catalyst Portfolio Company, demonstrated the scalability of its novel 1-transistor/2-transistor Bi-SRAM (bi-stable, intrinsic bipolar) memory technology to FinFET technology node at the IEDM Conference. The results from 14nm and 16nm FinFET technology nodes from multiple foundries follow previous implementation of Bi-SRAM technol

Zeno Debuts World’s Smallest SRAM Technology at IEDM Conference
Novel 1-Transistor SRAM Technology 5x Smaller and Lower Power than Conventional SRAM Demonstrated at 28nm Process Technology Sunnyvale, CA, December 10, 2015 – Zeno Semiconductor today announced its novel 1-transistor Bi-SRAM (bi-stable, intrinsic bipolar) memory technology at the IEDM Conference. Zeno’s 1-transistor Bi-SRAM uses a single transistor as the memory bitcell and is therefore 5x smaller than conventional SRAMs which use 6-transistor bitcells (6T-SRAM). When impl

Zeno at IEDM 2015
As we are celebrating 50th anniversary of Moore's Law, we are excited to present the details of the 1T-SRAM memory technology at the IEDM 2015 conference in Washington, DC. Our 1T-SRAM memory technology provides a 5x smaller cell size compared to the conventional 6T-SRAM, promising to provide an alternative scaling method beyond Moore's Law. The paper is titled "A Novel Bi-stable 1-Transistor SRAM for High Density Embedded Application" and is a result of the collaborative wor
