Highly reliable and mass-productive FRAM embedded smartcard using advanced integration technologies

We developed FRAM embedded smartcard in which FRAM replace EEPROM and SRAM to improve the read/write cycle time and endurance of data memories in smartcard. Highly reliable sensing window for FRAM embedded smartcard was achieved by advanced integration technologies such as novel capacitor technology, multi-level encapsulating barrier layer (EBL) technology, and optimal inter-metallic dielectrics (IMD) technology.
