Invensas Shows New xFD-Based Customer Products with Etron Technology at CES, Las Vegas

Invensas Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tessera Technologies (News - Alert), Inc. (Nasdaq: TSRA), will display its latest xFD^TM products solutions at CES Las Vegas, Jan. 7 - 10, 2014, including cloud server module solutions featuring advanced Registered Dual Inline Memory Modules (R-DIMMs) in collaboration with semiconductor manufacturer, Etron Technology, Inc., and memory module provider, ADATA Technology.

"Invensas xFD technology plays a vital role in minimizing manufacturing cost, while enhancing electrical and thermal performance versus conventional technology," said Dr. James Sung, president of Etron Technology. "We see significant pull from semiconductor users with Invensas xFD technology."

xFD technology connects multiple memory chips in a face-down shingle-stack configuration using ultra-short wirebonds. The solution significantly reduces the cost of server and datacenter operation by providing superior data access performance with significantly lower cooling costs and power usage.

"We are delighted to be at CES (News - Alert) with Etron and ADATA," said Simon McElrea, president of Invensas Corporation. "Semiconductor packaging, or Interconnectology as we call it at Invensas, is growing to become a vital and highly valuable element of the mobile and cloud storage landscape. Our intellectual property and technology solutions continue to gain traction with key customers and supply chain partners in this exciting space."

Invensas will display the products with Etron Technology, Inc. in Etron's Booth #35116 LVCC, South Hall 4, Las Vegas, NV, on Jan. 7 - 10, 2014. More details and additional Invensas xFD solutions can be found at www.invensas.com.
