:6702), a leading provider of customer-focused IT and communications solutions for the global marketplace, announced today an agreement under which MoSys' 1T-SRAM technology is licensed to Fujitsu on its advanced 65 nanometer One billionth of a meter. Nanometers are used to measure the wavelengths of light. See angstrom and metric system.  (nm) production process.

The companies' partnership already covers the 0.13-micron and 90nm semiconductor technologies. With the implementation of MoSys-patented 1T-SRAM memory technology and 1T-Q bit cell to Fujitsu's 65nm process, Fujitsu is able to offer complex SoCs that have a fraction of the die area devoted to embedded memory compared to other competing embedded memory technologies, while maintaining very high performance with extremely low power consumption. The cost savings derived from the smaller embedded memory die area can be allocated to other various uses, such as increasing functionality at the same cost, or significantly reducing unit costs while maintaining the same functionality.

"Since partnering with MoSys, Fujitsu has acquired much experience in the design and manufacturing methodologies of 1T-SRAM-Q technology. We feel this is one of the best embedded memory solutions on 65nm technology," said Kimiaki Satoh, General Manager of the FCRAM FCRAM Fast Cycle Random Access Memory

 MoSys patented technologies at the most advanced process node," said Chet Silvestri, chief executive officer at MoSys, Inc. "By adopting MoSys 1T-SRAM technology for its 65 nm products, Fujitsu can use the extensive experience developed on the 0.13-micron and 90 nm processes to provide optimized solutions for its customer base and provides momentum for scaling below 65 nm in the future."

Fujitsu is currently constructing its second 300mm fab, which will support leading-edge 65nm process technologies, and continues to move forward with developments with its cutting-edge technology partners worldwide. In addition to maximizing and further enhancing the advantages of its 65nm process technologies -- fast speed with low power consumption, Fujitsu plans to enrich its design methodology offerings.

About MoSys Inc.

Founded in 1991, MoSys (NASDAQ: MOSY), develops, licenses and markets innovative memory technologies for semiconductors. MoSys' patented 1T-SRAM technologies offer a combination of high density, low power consumption, high speed and low cost unmatched by other available memory technologies. The single transistor bit cell used in 1T-SRAM memory results in the technology achieving much higher density than traditional four or six transistor SRAMs while using the same standard logic manufacturing processes. 1T-SRAM technologies also offer the familiar, refresh-free interface and high performance for random address access cycles associated with traditional SRAMs. In addition, these technologies can reduce operating power consumption by a factor of four compared with traditional SRAM See static RAM.
