  • Abstract
    The role of non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies in the business of silicon foundries is reviewed. Solutions that comply with the NVM requests of diverse customers in today´s semiconductor market are analyzed both from technical and business viewpoints. The strategy of NVM internal development in a foundry, the availability of NVM for special technology platforms, and the compromise between internal and external memory intellectual property (IP) are discussed using TowerJazz memory solutions as examples.
