About Innovative Silicon

Innovative Silicon, Inc. (ISi) licenses its ultra-dense Z-RAM® floating body memory technology to stand-alone DRAM manufacturers so they may manufacture the lowest-cost, most-advanced memory ICs. Licensees include Hynix Semiconductor for use in advanced DRAM chips. The heart of the Z-RAM floating body technology is the “zero-capacitor,” single-transistor bit cell that eliminates the complex capacitor found in today’s DRAM technologies – making it the world’s lowest-cost and most-scalable memory technology. Since 2003, the company has closed $47 million in venture capital funding, received numerous industry awards such as IEEE Spectrum Magazine’s “2007 Emerging Technology Most Likely to Succeed,” been granted dozens of patents, and established R&D, engineering and support centers in Europe, Asia and North America.
