At the IEDM, Imec has presented an ultra-thin hybrid floating gate cell for future flash memory. “The results are an important enabler for further scaling of NAND flash technology towards the 10nm ...

For several decades, NAND flash has been the primary technology for low-cost and large-density data storage applications. This non-volatile memory is present in all major electronic end-use markets, ...

For years, many have predicted the end of flash memory scaling, particularly NAND, but the technology continues to defy the odds as it moves down the process curve. Still, there are signs that the ...

Intel-Micron have recently introduced a scalable planar NAND cell for the 20nm technology [1]. Replacement of conventional wrap floating gate (FG) NAND memory cell with a High-K/Metal gate planar cell ...

Editor’s Note: NAND and NOR Flash memory play an integral role in embedded systems of all sorts but successful implementation requires careful attention to key ...

Dramatic advances in NROM-based NAND flash will challenge the market dominance of floating gate NAND flash, according to developer Saifun’s CEO. “We have a product in qualification which stores 4-bits ...

After a long period during which the emphasis had been on building ever-faster computer circuits, things have shifted toward making them more energy-efficient. Some efficiency gains have come through ...

Firstly, a brief introduction was given to commonly used two-dimensional materials, including graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC), black phosphorus (BP), and hexagonal boron nitride ...
