ULTRARAM wins most innovative flash memory award

Invented by Professor Manus Hayne from the Physics Division at Lancaster College, ULTRARAM combines the excessive efficiency of DRAM with the non-volatility of flash, one thing that was extensively believed to be unachievable.

It has the flexibility to each retailer information for greater than 1,000 years – exceeding the capabilities of flash, and likewise to be learn from and written to in a short time and at decrease power than DRAM.

Much like a compound semiconductor model of flash, ULTRARAM exploits the quantum-mechanical impact of resonant tunnelling, changing the oxide tunnel barrier in flash with a triple-barrier resonant tunnelling construction. This eliminates flash’s deficiencies, permitting a floating-gate reminiscence to function at low voltage and excessive velocity, with excessive endurance and unprecedented effectivity, however with out compromising on non-volatility.

Quinas’ business goal is to develop the expertise right into a product that may out-perform DRAM, the working reminiscence in digital electronics and computing, with the numerous added benefit of non-volatility.

“New types of reminiscence tiering expertise can doubtlessly create compelling worth for buyer workloads sooner or later,” stated Jay Kramer, Chair of the Awards Program and President of Community Storage Advisors Inc. “We're proud to acknowledge Quinas Expertise for inventing a brand new kind of pc reminiscence which mixes velocity, endurance, retention and power effectivity right into a single reminiscence idea.”

James Ashforth-Pook, CEO of Quinas Expertise stated, “Quinas is delighted to have been honoured with this award by Flash Reminiscence Summit. It's significantly gratifying to have this endorsement from the world’s main reminiscence convention, given the extremely disruptive use of compound semiconductors in ULTRARAM.”

The Flash Reminiscence Summit award is given for ’improvements that can change the best way flash reminiscence and all different types of high-performance reminiscence work, and the way it's utilized in merchandise. The recipients of this award will get pleasure from important differentiation of their mental property and patents from different aggressive applied sciences within the reminiscence business’.
