NOVeA
Licensee Deliverables. Licensee agrees to provide Licensor early access to the technical information for use by Licensor solely in connection with developing the Compilers as set forth in this Agreement.
NOVeA, which can be reprogrammed numerous times, is designed for integration into system-on-chip (SoC) applications. It is the first non-volatile, electrically alterable embedded memory solution that can be produced using standard logic processes. Most embedded non-volatile memory solutions require special process technology that adds steps and photomasks to fabrication, which increases costs and delivery time. Since NOVeA can be manufactured by using a standard logic process, additional process steps and masks are not necessary, thereby reducing costs and delivery time. By employing sub-micron geometries, NOVeA technology can help reduce overall system size, lower power consumption and increase performance.

Patent relates to the nanotechnology concept known as tunneling magnetoresistance. Tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) is a large change in the electrical resistance upon the application of a magnetic field of two magnetic layers separated by an insulating layer. In practical terms, TMR and the other fields of giant magnetoresistance and ballistic magnetoresistance may revolutionize the way that electronic data is stored.
TMR technology allows thin magnetic films to be layered to make complex structures with unique magnetic properties. Such layered magnetic structures have applications in magnetic sensors and storage media like computer disks and random access memories. Magnetic random access memories (MRAMs) based on structures of magnetic metallic films interspersed with nonmagnetic metallic or insulating interlayers may be the next generation in magnetic storage technology, replacing the semiconductor-based dynamic random access memories that are now standard. The advantages of MRAMs include high storage density, low energy consumption and the retention of information when a computer is turned off.
