Contour Semiconductor Inc. is a venture-backed company founded to produce the world's lowest-cost, high-volume, non-volatile memory chips. Our product family will serve the growing Flash memory market. To meet the rising demand for more memory at lower cost, Contour is taking a new and innovative approach to memory design and manufacturing.

Continuing Moore's Law

We are breaking down the barrier to continuing Moore's law caused by the ever increasing high cost and eventual limitations of photolithography for very fine line geometries.  Contour's patented techniques allow us to dramatically reduce the number of process and mask steps required to build non-volatile memories, resulting in a significant savings in capital costs and increased throughput in a given fabrication facility.  This permits us to achieve a 75% die cost reduction as compared to NAND memory on an equivalent technology node.

Converging Science and Markets

Contour Semiconductor is comprised of a highly experienced, interdisciplinary team of industry executives, engineers, scientists and operations professionals. As an early-stage venture, we are moving ahead at a fast pace, fueled by innovation, excitement and ideas. We are seeking other forward thinking individuals to join our dynamic team as we redefine the future of the semiconductor industry.

Contour Semiconductor is located in beautiful historic Massachusetts. Our company’s backers include Fairhaven Capital Partners, American Capital,

Still River Funds, Eastward Capital Partners and private investors.
