Innovative Silicon has been the recipient of other prestigious awards. ISi’s chief scientist and co-founder, was recognized in 2007 by EE Times’ as an ACE Award Innovator of the Year Finalist. Editors at semiconductor trade magazine EE Times named ISi to its list of 60 Emerging Startups, which is better known as the “Silicon 60,” each year since the list was created in early 2004. The company received the Red Herring 100 Europe 2007 award, which recognizes Europe’s 100 “most promising” companies driving the future of technology. The 2006 Frost & Sullivan Product Innovation award was presented to ISi for the invention of the capacitorless memory device that overcomes the limitation in scaling dynamic random access memory (DRAM) for future memory needs. ISi was also awarded the “Best Invention of the Year” status by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL).
