Infineon buys out Saifun's share in Infineon Technologies Flash
Saifun Semiconductors has announced an agreement with Infineon Technologies AG granting Infineon a new license for the use of Saifun NROM technology for its line of Flash memory products. The two companies will continue to cooperate closely in technology and product development. Infineon will acquire Saifuns share in their joint venture, Infineon Technologies Flash (IFL). The licensing agreement appears to be worth tens of millions of dollars. Saifun may be exiting the joint venture to concentrate on the development side of the technology. The joint venture was set up in 2001 under the name Ingentix. Saifuns NROM technology currently stores two locally-separated bits in one transistor cell, which means lower production costs.
