Novocell Semiconductor, Inc. to Provide OTP Solution Across Multiple IBM Foundry Semiconductor Process Nodes

Hermitage PA, February 14, 2011 -- Novocell Semiconductor, Inc., today announces it will provide one-time programmable (OTP) memory solutions spanning fourteen different IBM Foundry Semiconductor processes. Novocell will qualify its OTP memory in the 350, 250, 180, 130, and 90nm IBM nodes.

“Novocell is pleased that IBM has selected our unique technology for migrating a core OTP solution over multiple nodes and process variants,” said Steven Warner, Novocell’s CEO/President.

Novocell provides a fully enabled, drop-in array that is programmable with standard I/O inputs, no special pins or optional charge pumps are required. 100% reliability is assured through NovoBlox’s unique SmartBit technology that provides real-time, programming feedback. NovoBlox OTP will provide IBM with an area-saving, reliable compliment to the IBM e-fuse.
