Eric, from my first G@K SST post: From company press release: SST's SuperFlash technology is a NOR type, split-gate cell architecture which uses a reliable thick-oxide process with fewer manufacturing steps resulting in a low-cost, nonvolatile memory solution with excellent data retention and higher reliability. The split-gate NOR SuperFlash architecture facilitates a simple and flexible design suitable for high performance, high reliability, small or medium sector size, in- or off-system programming and a variety of densities, all in a single CMOS-compatible technology. Best, Huey

Eric, The Asia Biz Tech article is a nice find. nikkeibp.asiabiztech.com snip: June 28, 2000 (TOKYO) -- According to a survey by Nikkei Market Access, the world's flash memory market in 2000 will grow 2.6 times over the preceding year to US$11 billion. *NOR-type (1) flash memories for use mainly in mobile phones will account for 84 percent of the market. From company press release: SST's SuperFlash technology is a NOR type, split-gate cell architecture which uses a reliable thick-oxide process with fewer manufacturing steps resulting in a low-cost, nonvolatile memory solution with excellent data retention and higher reliability. From the 5/19/00 SSB report: SST's Combo Memory product, which is a marriage of SRAM and Flash, already has six to seven wins in cellular handsets.** (I am assuming Combo Memory is based on Nor type flash as well.) I suspect we may be able to reasonably draw the following conclusions: 1. Flash memory is the fastest growing segment of the semi conductor industry. 2. Nor type flash memory is the fastest growing segment of the flash memory industry. 3. STTI's Superflash technology is a nor type flash memory. 4. STTI, with its Nor type Superflash memory, is well positioned for continued hypergrowth. Let me know if you find anything different. Best, Huey
