The inventors of this module type and holders of the patent are chief technical officer Kenneth Kledzik and president Jason Engle, both of San Clemente, CA. "This new patent further protects our intellectual property in this area of memory module design," said Engle. "To designers it means a greater variety of mixed technologies can now be used with Canopy, a three-dimensional process that permits a variety of space-limited memory design applications. The process was created in 2001 in part to help reduce thermal failures associated with stacked-chip technologies." |
