Crocus is a leading developer of MRAM technology for dense, non-volatile, high-speed, scalable memories. The company's MRAM innovation originated in the Grenoble-based Spintec laboratory, a world-leading R&D center in Spintronics, affiliated with French national laboratories CEA and CNRS. The company will offer discrete, high-density MRAM chips that target a wide variety of telecommunication, networking, storage, computing and handheld applications. The company also licenses its technology for both stand alone and embedded chip applications.
TIAN laboratory is currently focused on Micro/Nano Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS/NEMS). Long-term research aims to investigate the fundamental electrical and mechanical principles of new materials for MEMS/NEMS and low-cost micro/nanomanufacturing approaches, utilizing nanotechnology (“bottom-up” nanomanufaturing techniques, nanomaterials, etc.) to effectively enhance the performance of micro/nanosystems. Present research efforts are the combination of “bottom-up” nano self-assembly and “top-down” hot embossing and other new MEMS fabrication technologies.
MicroContinuum Inc. was founded in 1998 by a group of former Polaroid scientists and engineers with the goal of developing and commercializing new and innovative roll manufacturing technologies.
MicroContinuum facilities, located in Watertown MA, house an wide range of laboratory and manufacturing equipment, including two roll-to-roll (R2R) micro/nanoembossers, R2R vacuum coater, batch sputter coater, slitter, analytical instrumentation, among others.
