ATMI and Ovonyx are to collaborate on commercial high-volume chemical
vapor deposition (CVD) precursor materials and processes for the
introduction of phase change memory (PCM) products based on Ovonyx's
PCM technology.
“PCM is on the verge of commercial adoption using conventional
deposition techniques; however, subsequent generation CVD deposition of
phase change materials and delivery processes will further increase
scalability and accelerate cost reductions," said Doug Neugold, Chief
Executive Officer of ATMI. "By applying our high productivity
semiconductor precursor materials development, delivery, and deposition
process expertise with Ovonyx's PCM knowledge, we believe that,
together, we can accelerate the adoption of CVD phase change material
deposition into high volume production."
The agreement includes a certain degree of cross-licensing of patents and technology between the two companies.
