Silicon Storage Technology, Inc. (SST) invites you to attend a free knowledge-based seminar on embedded SuperFlash® technology being held at the IMW2010 Conference on May 18, 2010 at the Shilla Hotel in Seoul, Korea. SuperFlash technology is a proprietary flash memory technology developed by SST. It is based on CMOS technology and the SST unique split-gate memory cell with field-enhancing tunneling injector.

The SuperFlash technology and memory cell have a number of important advantages for designing and manufacturing flash EEPROMs or embedding nonvolatile memory in logic devices when compared with the thin-oxide stacked-gate or other NVM approaches. These distinct advantages translate into significant cost and reliability benefits for the user. Over the past 15+ years, SuperFlash has become a de-facto embedded memory standard for microcontrollers, smartcards and other applications requiring embedded nonvolatile memory. To date, the licensees of SuperFlash have shipped more than 10 billion units of embedded products.

During this free seminar, the advantages of using and designing with embedded SuperFlash will be demonstrated. The seminar is a great opportunity open to anyone involved in the development, marketing or manufacturing of products requiring embedded nonvolatile memory.

Following is the seminar program outline:

• Introduction: SST team, seminar agenda – Mark Reiten

SST Presenters:

Amitay Levi – Vice-President, Embedded Technology Amitay received his Ph.D. in Material Science in 1985 from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He joined Xicor, Inc. in 1985 and worked on process integration of EEPROM technology. In 1990 he joined Silicon Storage Technology, Inc. He has since been responsible for the development of a few generations of the SuperFlash® technology.

Hung Nguyen – Vice-President, Advanced Technology Products Hung joined SST in 1993. He assembled and managed the design teams to bring up the first SuperFlash® family to mass production, developed the high volume MTP, MPF product families in many SuperFlash® generations. Currently he has focused on the advanced technology product development. Prior to SST, he developed various serial and parallel products on triple-oxide EEPROM at Xicor and first stack-gate Flash products at Catalyst Semiconductor. Hung received BSEE, MSEE, MBA at University California at Berkeley, Santa Clara University, St. Mary's California.

Mark Reiten – Vice-President, Business Development and Technology Licensing Over Mark's 25 years of tenure in the computer industry he has assembled and managed teams in software development, sales and business development. His broad experience includes software, computer systems sales, storage subsystem sales, semiconductor devices sales and intellectual property. Over the last 8 years Mark's responsibilities have focused on business development and sales roles related to semiconductor IP, first with Virage Logic and for the last 3 years with Silicon Storage Technology, Inc.

Alex Kotov – Senior Director, Reliability and Device Physics Alexander has over 28 years of experience working in the area of NVM, CCD, CMOS technology development. He worked for a number of research institutes and semiconductor companies in Ukraine and Russia from 1981 to 1998. Since 1998 he is with Silicon Storage Technology, Inc., supervising Reliability and Device Physics Group. His current research interests include 3-D memory cell modeling and development of advanced SuperFlash® technology.

Pavel Klinger – Director, Technology Licensing Pavel has over 20 years of experience in the semiconductor industry. Prior to re-joining SST, Pavel worked for Chartered Semiconductor in Singapore, where he successfully managed execution of the major customer programs. Over the last 15 years Pavel was involved in the development of non-volatile memories. He was leading technical contributor to Intel's 45nm NOR flash development program and held various positions at AMD, Hynix, Information Storage Devices, and SST. Pavel received his PhD in Physics from St. Petersburg Technical University, Russian Federation. He holds 5 U.S. Patents and has multiple publications

Vipin Tiwari – Business Development Director Vipin Tiwari currently serves as Business Development Director at Silicon Storage Technology, responsible for technology licensing and design services business. Before joining SST he held various management and design engineering positions at Virage Logic and STMicroelectronics responsible for product marketing, NVM and SRAM design and chip level pnr and floorplanning. He holds four U.S. patents and currently has two patents pending. Mr. Tiwari has a Bachelors degree in Technology, Electronics Engineering, from ITBHU, India and an MBA degree from Santa Clara University, Calif.

Date, Time and Location: May 18, 2010 at the IMW2010 Conference, Shilla Hotel, Seoul, Korea. The SuperFlash seminar will begin at 11:30 a.m. during the lunch break of the Conference and is scheduled to last approximately two hours. A delicious lunch meal will be served.
