Paul, re: "crazy story" I looked up his patent. On the face of it looks like there may be merit to the technology. It employs a combination of ferro and piezoelectric materials to form the bit cells, witch sounds like a good idea. Of course a good idea does not make a winning product. If this guy is going to fight with his former employer I suspect others, including Intel, will lay hands off lest they get drawn into a muddle. There is also a little fact of a memory glut these days. I didn't read anything that says this memory will be any cheaper per bit that existing semiconductor memory. It is still a thin film, patterned technology with bit size fixed by metal line resolutions. It will take lots of lab work to make a practical process given that the rest of the fab is exotic material formulations. Assuming that Dr. Gendlin settles his ownership fuss, the next hurdle is to make real product, perhaps a military, or a DARPA funded specialty thing. Good luck to him and/or Kappa Numerics! Jeff
