The resistive memory (ReRAM) is available for release in the form of built-in memory in microcontrollers and other LSIs. Commercial release of ReRAM is ready to start a Chinese company SMIC. The industry has been slow to ensure that replace traditional and NOR- of NAND-flash something better both in terms of speed, and from the standpoint of better resistance to wear (to the number of rewrite cycles). Memory ReRAM satisfies all these requirements and, importantly, can be produced in conventional CMOS-production
without the need for exotic materials and clever technical processes. However, in September last year, there was one event that can highlight another type of non-volatile memory - memory for carbon nanotubes or NRAM (Nano-Ram).
Just like the company SMIC another contract manufacturer of chips - Fujitsu Japanese company - announced plans to produce solutions with integrated memory NRAM. Commercial production of microcontrollers with NRAM instead SRAM- and NAND-memory, Fujitsu will begin in 2018. As reported a few days ago research agency BCC Research, the launch of production in memory NRAM will be a turning point in the industry and will forever change the idea of the non-volatile memory. Forecast on the memory market
growth NRAM you can see in the table below. On average, according to experts, from 2018 to 2023 years, the memory market in carbon nanotubes will grow by 62.5% per year.
The principle of operation of the memory NRAM, developed by the American company Nantero, we described in this article . Separately add that carbon nanotubes as a completely new material promises to emphasize the quality of almost all non-volatile memory - reduce delays treatment to picoseconds, increase energy efficiency, increase the resistance to wear and so on. Company Nantero, for example, on the basis of its development creates a version of the memory DDR4. Also NRAM memory under license Nantero experimenting
several major electronics developers, but all names, except for the Fujitsu, are kept secret. Related Products :
