The term " memory ", meaning " primary storage " or " main memory ", is often associated with addressable semiconductor memory, i . e . integrated circuits consisting of silicon-based transistors, used for example as primary storage but also other purposes in computers and other areal density than DRAM.

Thus, inasmuch as chemical empirical formulas pinpoint the locations of branching ions that are attached to a particular molecule, the dopant of silicon based transistors and other such electronic components will have the location identified of each dopant atom or molecule, along with the associated characteristic of the device based on the named locations.

The technology and market idea behind the foundation of NanGate was to address and solve the inherent shortcomings of standard cell based transistors most often arranged in the pull-up / pull-down fashion of CMOS . A typical standard-cell library for e . g . 40 nanometer CMOS has 500-1500 standard cells and about 150-300 different logic functions.

Unlike silicon transistors which switch off due to power surges, GaN transistors are typically depletion mode ( i . e . on / resistive when the gate-source voltage is zero ), however the company along with US government and university assistance developed GaN transistors via materials engineering to also be available as enhancement mode ( " normally off " ) devices, just as silicon based transistors.
