Roland Lacher, CEO of SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES comments: “At the end of previous year the break-through for TIMARIS machines for TMR applications was achieved. This was accomplished with the first order for thin film heads (write/read heads) placed in December 2005. Overall, including today’s orders already the fourth machine is earmarked for delivery. This is a great success, since we were able to show that our machines overcame the high entry barriers of the market and holds up well against the competition as well.” MRAM is a non-volatile storage technology with high reading and writing speed.
