Nantero Announces Qualifications of New Brewer Science CNTRENE Material

Nantero, Inc., a nanotechnology company pioneering the use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the development of next-generation semiconductor devices, announced that it has qualified Brewer Science’s new CNTRENE 1020 series CNT material for use in NRAM manufacturing. Brewer Science is working with NRAM licensees in production CMOS fabs to utilize the new CNTRENE 1020 series material. Brewer Science is a licensed supplier of CMOS-grade CNT solutions made utilizing processes developed by Nantero for use in the manufacture of NRAM devices.

This next generation of CNTRENE materials manufactured by Brewer Science provides an increased concentration of CNTs in solution, with lower ion content (<10 ppb) and extended stability for use in standard track coater systems. This new generation of Brewer Science CNT materials allows for reduced process costs and improved on-wafer coating performance, consistent with the company’s focus on integrated solutions.

“Brewer Science is a recognized leader in supplying advanced materials for semiconductor processing, with a global customer base, and we are pleased to have them providing our existing and future NRAM customers with fab-ready carbon nanotube material,” Greg Schmergel, co-founder and CEO of Nantero, Inc., said.
