Quinas Receives £1.1M from InnovateUK to Boost ULTRARAM Production

TapTechNews July 15th news, the startup company Quinas jointly founded by IQE, Lancaster University and Cardiff University announced that it has received £1.1 million (TapTechNews note: currently about 14.4 million US dollars) from the InnovateUK Foundation to further promote the large-scale production of ULTRARAM.

According to the introduction, ULTRARAM was invented by Professor Manus Hayne of Lancaster University, and its goal is to combine the speed and durability of non-volatile storage NAND with DRAM.

The £1.1 million funds will be used to expand the diameter of the ULTRARAM wafer from 3 inches to 6 inches and realize it using the mainstream production technology of metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) of IQE company. This project lasts for one year.

The next stage goal is to manufacture on a complete 8-inch wafer, and then convert this process into an industrial process suitable for wafer factories.

TapTechNews previously reported that Quinas claims that the ULTRARAM technology can withstand up to 10 million write cycles at most, and the charge stored in the ULTRARAM unit can be stored for 1000 years without leaking.
