Nantero is a nanotechnology company using carbon nanotubes for the development of next-generation semiconductor devices. These devices include memory, logic, and other semiconductor products. In the field of memory, Nantero is developing NRAM™, a high-density nonvolatile Random Access Memory. The company's objective is to deliver a product that will replace all existing forms of memory, such as DRAM, SRAM and flash memory, with NRAM™ serving as universal memory. The potential applications for the nonvolatile memory Nantero is developing are extensive and include the ability to enable instant-on computers and to replace the memory in devices such as cell phones, MP3 players, digital cameras, and PDAs, as well as applications in the networking arena. NRAM™ can be manufactured for both standalone and embedded memory applications.
Nantero will license complete packages to enable manufacturers to produce, market, and sell nanotube-based semiconductor products, such as NRAM™, which can be used in both standalone and embedded memory applications. These technology transfer packages will include a process module and the associated process knowledge, intellectual property rights, and the necessary nanotube materials.
Nantero is the first company to actively develop semiconductor products using carbon nanotubes in a production CMOS fab. Nantero is also the first company to develop microelectronic-grade carbon nanotube material, compatible with production CMOS fabs, now commercially available through licensee Brewer Science. Nantero's extensive intellectual property portfolio currently includes over 100 patent applications, of which over 40 have already been granted.
