Future of Standalone Flash Memory

Lecturer: Betty Prince, Ph.D.  
Author of: Emerging Memories: Technologies and Trends, 2002, Kluwer Academic
High Performance Memories, Revised Edition 1999, John Wiley & Sons
Semiconductor Memories, 2nd Edition, 1992, John Wiley & Sons

Overview: This one day seminar covers the market and applications for standalone flash memory. The evolution of embedded flash is discussed including the evolutionary trend to trapping site storage which includes both the current move to nitride storage such as NROM and SONOS and the future development of nanocrystal flash memory. Various emerging memory technologies are then discussed including current trends in MRAM, Phase-Change and other Resistance RAMs, FeRAM and other further out nanotechnology memories.

Day One:
9:00 Overview of the Future of NV Memory
9:30 New Flash Applications
10:30 Evolution of Flash: Nitride
11:30 Evolution of Flash: Nanocrystal
12:00 Lunch Break
1:00 Current MRAM Issues and Development
2:00 Overview of PC-RAM/RRAM
3:00 FeRAM
4:00 Nanotechnology
4:30 End
