Honeywell receives QML for new 1-megabit SRAMs

Officials at the Honeywell Solid State Electronics Center in Plymouth, Minn., received approval for the Defense Department`s Qualified Manufacturing List (QML) Q for their 6-inch wafer fab of 1-megabit static random access memory (SRAM) chips. Honeywell officials say their QML status, which reflects adherence to MIL-PRF-38535, will help them supply cost-effective space-qualified solid-state memory. MIL-PRF-38535 is a standard that the Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC) administers. DSCC previously granted QML status to the Honeywell 1-megabit SRAM line for 4-inch wafers. Honeywell`s Solid State Electronics Center develops custom and semi-custom high-speed, high-performance microcircuits and sensors for military, space, and commercial applications.
