Vertical Memory - Memory: Beyond Space & Time

 
 

The challenge for next generation Memory Technologies (Standalone or Embedded) is the move toward an ideal solution that approaches zero ns read/write speed, has unlimited endurance, almost no cell area, and retains data when power is lost.  No single memory currently meets this ideal today.  Instead, we are stuck with a complex hierarchy of different memories that are expensive and difficult to integrate. To reach the ideal goal, memory must use new storage materials and become more vertical: device structures integrated vertically, stacked components in a package, multiple bits per cell.  Vertical Memory is where the future of memory and systems-on-chip or systems-in-package lie.


Vertical Memory represents my vision of the future of semiconductor memory and systems-on-chip.  I consult on volatile & non-volatile memory technologies - stand-alone and embedded and system-on-chip technology.  I have over 30-years experience in developing businesses in leading edge non-volatile & volatile memory and ASIC products & technologies.  Let me help you make the right decisions for your business or your investment.
