Nanochip – Ultra-High Data Density MEMS Memory Device

Adams D., Belov N., Chou T-K., Heck J., Kim B., Knight G., Ma Q., Rao V., Tchelepi G., Nanochip, Inc., US

Nanochip developed a conceptual prototype of a probe storage device (nanochip). The device employs a ferroelectric non-volatile memory, which permits robust write, non-destructive read and simple data overwriting operations. Read-write operations require low power and [...]

Multi-Bit/Cell SONOS Flash Memory with Recessed Channel Structure

Han K-R, Kwon H-I, Lee J-H., Kyungpook National University, KR

A novel device structure for 4-bit/cell with recessed channel structure is presented and characterized for NOR-type nonvolatile memory (NVM) technology. In this paper, we studied a 4-bit/cell SONOS flash memory cell Since two transistors in [...]

Polypyrrole nanoionic composites for solid state electronics

Zhao J.H., Pillai R.G., Freund M.S., Thomson D.J., University of Manitoba, CA

In this report, a conjugated semiconducting polymer composite was designed to have a mobile charge carrier density that can be controlled through an electric field. An electrochemically deposited polypyrrole (PPy) composite between two gold electrodes [...]

Three-Dimensional-Topology Processing and Memory Cells For Molecular Electronics

Lyshevski M.A., Lyshevski S.E., Lyshevski M.A., Lyshevski S.E., Microsystems and Nanotechnologies, US

This paper researches an innovative molecular electronics solution for molecular processing platforms which utilize three-dimensional (3D) topology molecular electronic devices and 3D system organization. Departing form the conventional concepts, we use the polypeptides as a [...]

Hybrid Semiconductor/Nanoelectronic Circuit Architectures

Likharev K.K., Stony Brook University, US

I suggest to present a review of the recent work on hybrid semiconductor/nanodevice integrated circuits. Such a circuit combines a CMOS subsystem, fabricated with the usual lithographic patterning, and a nanowire crossbar with simple bistable [...]

Nanoparticle optical memory function

Soares B.F., Bashevoy M.V., MacDonald K.F., Jonsson F., Zheludev N.I., University of Southampton, UK

Light and electron-beam induced structural transformations in nanoparticles of polymorphic metals provide a paradigm for achieving resonator-less optical memory functionality with picojoule energy requirements. We demonstrate optical memory function with gallium nanoparticles grown by light-assisted [...]

Single-Crystal Nanowire Transistor for Logic and Memory Applications

Yu B., Ye L., Meyyappan M., NASA Ames Research Center, US

In this paper we report chemical synthesis, device fabrication, and device physics investigation of 1-D single-crystalline nanowire field-effect transistor (SNW-FET) for logic and memory applications. Wafer-scale transistor arrays were fabricated with semiconducting nanowires serve as [...]
