ReRAM memory is being developed by HP, SK Hynix, Panasonic, Samsung, TSMC, Elpida, Sharp and other manufacturers. Today, about the development of memristor reported IBM company. As donor particles, IBM uses the so-called ionic liquid, saturated positive or negative ions. On the model, it looks like a drop of liquid on top of metal oxide ion channel. In its natural state, the metal oxide is an insulator. Under the influence of the positively charged ions in the liquid droplet, which controls the external magnetic field that is a restoration of the oxide in the channel to a complete metallization (in the experiment using vanadium oxide). Thus becomes a channel metal oxide conductor . The experiments showed that after removal of a pilot for channel lost their conducting properties. Simply stated, the effect manifested memory or energy independence. Yeah, NAND-flash memory for a long time is looking for a replacement. Perhaps the future is hidden in a drop of water.
IBM realize that to the marketing of the project will take years, if not decades. But it is always nice to know that the industry can find alternate to further reduce the scale of production or to increase the efficiency and performance of future electronic circuits. Related Products :
