<span style='color:red'>SST</span> and SK hynix system ic partner to expand availability of embedded SuperFlash technology
IC designers are increasingly seeking ways to keep production costs down while implementing low power, high endurance embedded flash. Microchip Technology Inc. via its subsidiary Silicon Storage Technology(SST) has announced a strategic partnership with SK hynix system ic to expand the availability of SuperFlash® technology. The partnership will introduce SST’s embedded SuperFlash technology to SK hynix system ic’s 110 nanometer (nm) CMOS platform, providing designers a cost-effective and low-power embedded flash memory solution. SST’s embedded SuperFlash technology offers low power, high reliability, superior data retention and endurance for a range of applications, such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices, smart cards and microcontroller-based applications. The technology’s power efficiency and fast erase time are ideal for low-power applications such as remote IoT edge nodes and contactless payment devices.  “The combination of area-efficient, low-power SuperFlash technology and the highly cost-effective 110 nm process node opens up exciting new product opportunities, especially for IoT and microcontroller-based applications,” said Mark Reiten, vice president of SST, a wholly owned subsidiary of Microchip. “This partnership will enable customers who require low power, high endurance embedded flash to keep their production costs down by using the highly optimised 8-inch CMOS platform.”SST’s SuperFlash technology complements SK hynix system ic’s embedded flash memory solutions with low power and high reliability IP. SK hynix system ic is a fully owned subsidiary spun off from SK hynix (000660: Korea SE) in July 2017. It is a pure 200 mm foundry specialised in Display Driver IC (DDI), CMOS Image Sensor (CIS), and Power IC with a process range of 500 nm to 57 nm. “We believe that the adoption of SST’s embedded SuperFlash will enable SK hynix system ic to expand our technology portfolio, and it will help to respond to customer requests for highly reliable and robust embedded non-volatile memory solutions,” said Dr. SB You, marketing vice president of SK hynix system ic. “Moreover, we will provide customers with a cost-effective embedded flash solution to support their competitiveness in the market. As the demand for embedded flash memory solutions increases, there will be many customers coming to us to use our 110nm CMOS technology-based embedded flash memory solution.” The process development commenced earlier this year and is expected to be completed in early 2019. Contact SST for more information on the company’s extensive custom library of off-the-shelf IP blocks optimised for smartcard System-on-Chips (SoCs).

Coating eliminates crosstalk and shrinks waveguides
  A way to simultaneously control diverse optical properties of dielectric waveguides by using a quasi 2D two-layer coating has been found by a team of Penn State electrical engineers.  “Waveguides are an essential component in any electromagnetic or optical system,but they are often overlooked because much of the focus has been on the devices themselves and not the waveguides,"said Chair Professor Genevieve McCain.  The researchers developed a material they claim is so thin it is almost 2D,with characteristics that manipulate and enhance properties of the waveguide.  The material is said to be composed of two conformal coatings,one for guiding the signal and one to cloak the waveguide,that were then applied to a rod-shaped,Teflon waveguide.  By engineering the patterning on the coatings'surfaces,the team could control waveguide functionality and the cloaking coating is said to eliminate crosstalk and blockage.  The researchers also claim the effectiveness of the coating can be well maintained for waveguide bends by properly matching the dispersion properties of the metasurface unit cells.Although the coating can be applied to a bend in the waveguide,the waveguide cannot be bent after the coating is applied.  Improving the properties of the waveguide to control polarisation and other attributes is said to allow the waveguides to be smaller,and alleviating crosstalk allows these smaller waveguides to be more closely bundled.  "In terms of applications,these would include millimetre-wave/terahertz/infrared systems for sensing,communications,and imaging that need to manipulate polarisation,squeeze signals through waveguides with a smaller cross-section,and/or require dense deployment of interconnected components,"said postdoctoral fellow Zhi Hao Jiang.
