About Innovative Silicon
Innovative Silicon, Inc. (ISi) licenses its ultra-dense Z-RAM floating body
memory technology to stand-alone DRAM manufacturers so they may manufacture the
lowest-cost, most-advanced memory ICs. Licensees include Hynix Semiconductor for
use in advanced DRAM chips. The heart of the Z-RAM floating body technology is
the "zero-capacitor," single-transistor bit cell that eliminates the complex
capacitor found in today`s DRAM technologies - making it the world`s lowest-cost
and most-scalable memory technology. Since 2003, the company has closed $47
million in venture capital funding, received numerous industry awards such as
IEEE Spectrum Magazine`s "2007 Emerging Technology Most Likely to Succeed," been
