As announced on 20 June 2019, the next iteration of 300mm wafers ( Lot 4 ) will comprise of process condition variations to wafer D10 Lot 3. The processing of Lot 4 has commenced on imec’s state-of-the-art production equipment. Lot 4 will comprise of two sets of twenty three 300mm wafers (46 in total), that will be processed and analysed in parallel, thereby expediting the transition to imec’s 1 megabit memory platform.
The objective of Lot 4 will be to further optimise speed, endurance and retention, with the results of the analysis of Lot 4 expected during Q3 of 2019. This optimisation is a required and logical step before the Company integrates its technology onto imec’s 1 megabit memory platform, potentially after the completion of the analysis of Lot 4. In turn, this brings the Company closer to its goal of ultimately being able to produce a 1 megabit memory chip.
Forrest Capital acted as the lead manager and CPS Securities as co-manager to the Placement.
