The Best DRAMs For Artificial Intelligence
By Bryon Moyer - 12 Jun, 2025 - Comments: 0

Artificial intelligence (AI) involves intense computing and tons of data. The computing may be performed by CPUs, GPUs, or dedicated accelerators, and while the data travels through DRAM on its way to the processor, the best DRAM type for this purpose depends on the type of system that is performing the training or inference. The memory challenge facing engineering teams today is how to keep... » read more

A new technical paper titled "Revisiting DRAM Read Disturbance: Identifying Inconsistencies Between Experimental Characterization and Device-Level Studies" was published by researchers at ETH Zurich. Abstract "Modern DRAM is vulnerable to read disturbance (e.g., RowHammer and RowPress) that significantly undermines the robust operation of the system. Repeatedly opening and closing a DRAM ro... » read more

Improving DRAM Performance Using Dual Work-Function Metal Gate (DWMG) Structures
By Daebin Yim - 20 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) serves as the backbone of modern computing, enabling devices ranging from smartphones to high-performance servers. As the demand accelerates for higher density and lower power consumption in memory devices, innovation in reducing DRAM leakage currents and enhancing performance becomes essential. One significant challenge in scaling DRAM technology is gate-... » read more

The Rise Of Thin Wafer Processing
By Laura Peters - 20 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

The shift from planar SoCs to 3D-ICs and advanced packages requires much thinner wafers in order to improve performance and reduce power, reducing the distance that signals need to travel and the amount of energy needed to drive them. Markets calling for ultrathin wafers are growing. The combined thickness of an HBM module with 12 DRAM dies and a base logic chip is still less than that of a ... » read more
