Kilopass Technology Inc. announced that its XPM™ embedded one-time programmable (OTP) NVM technology has completed 1000 hours of JEDEC standard reliability testing for high temperature operating life (HTOL) and high temperature storage life (HTSL) on 3 lots for GLOBALFOUNDRIES' 0.13um generic process technology. Kilopass' logic-based XPM OTP technology requires no added cost for integration with standard logic processes. Due to the portability of its antifuse technology, XPM is the NVM of choice for IC companies interested in migrating their designs to GLOBALFOUNDRIES.

Kilopass embedded NVM is implemented in standard CMOS without any additional backend process steps. It is designed for manufacturability and mass production and uses standard foundry design rules and manufacturing process controls. Kilopass supports in-system programming without process or mask modifications, keeping manufacturing costs low. Over 2 billion units have shipped with Kilopass' antifuse technology from 180nm to 40nm in over 30 processes.
Kilopass's XPM solutions for GLOBALFOUNDRIES 0.13um G related processes are available for licensing now. GLOBALFOUNDRIES is accepting designs for immediate manufacturing.
