Princeton Infrared Technologies, Inc. (PIRT) is focused on supplying Shortwave Infrared detectors to both the commercial and defense markets. PIRT is a fabless semiconductor company focusing on design and integration. The products will be manufactured by leveraging more established semiconductor fabrication facilities to produce products in quantity with high quality at low cost. This model is used through the semiconductor industry, but not in the infrared detector business. In the past the infrared imaging industry had no commercial foundries to manufacture the “exotic” materials used to produce IR detectors, but that today is no longer true. Now that fabrication facilities can manufacture infrared parts, our fabless model will lead to much lower cost and improved devices for both the defense and the commercial sectors. Also, leveraging advance Silicon CMOS technologies enables PIRT to gain the advantages of technology developed for the commercial arena. Having the fabrication conducted at an outside foundry allows PIRT to concentrate on design of the product, managing the process, and conducting final assembly, which minimizes the equipment and staff needed, thus overhead costs. This is the model used by almost all modern electronic manufacturers.
Touchdown Technologies is a Baldwin Park, CA-based company in the Computers and Electronics sector.
Sidense Corp., founded in 2004, is a leading developer of silicon-proven, embedded non-volatile memory (NVM) intellectual property (IP). Sidense`s patented 1T-Fuse™-based one-transistor one-time programmable (1T-OTP) memory enables a wide range of electronic products that are built with complex System-on-Chip (SoC) semiconductors. End-market products include home entertainment consumer products, cellular telephones and other mobile communications devices, configurable processors, RFID, medical, industrial, automotive and a host of others. Semiconductor and systems companies integrate Sidense 1T-OTP IP macros into their SoC designs, saving time and money and allowing them to focus on the core competencies that differentiate their products. Sidense provides memory IP that is difficult and uneconomical for the device makers to try to create on their own. Important requirements of Sidense customers include the need to incorporate NVM that can be manufactured on a standard-logic CMOS process with no additional masks or process steps, is field-programmable, has a very small footprint, very fast read access times, is extremely difficult to reverse engineer, and has very low operating and standby power consumption. Sidense is the only supplier of antifuse 1T-OTP IP that can meet all of these demanding requirements at the leading semiconductor foundries from 180nm to 20nm, with development underway at smaller geometries.
