Gallium Oxide Flash Memory (KAUST & IIT)


A technical paper titled "Demonstration of β-Ga2O3 nonvolatile flash memory for oxide electronics" was published by researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and Indian Institute of Technology. Abstract: "This report demonstrates an ultrawide bandgap β-Ga2O3 flash memory for the first time. The flash memory device realized on heteroepitaxial β-Ga2O3 film... » read more

Will Monolithic 3D DRAM Happen?


As DRAM scaling slows, the industry will need to look for other ways to keep pushing for more and cheaper bits of memory. The most common way of escaping the limits of planar scaling is to add the third dimension to the architecture. There are two ways to accomplish that. One is in a package, which is already happening. The second is to sale the die into the Z axis, which which has been a to... » read more

Power/Performance Bits: March 2


Fast-charging EV battery Electric vehicle adoption faces challenges from consumers' range anxiety and the extended lengths of time needed to charge a car's battery. Researchers at Pennsylvania State University are trying to address this by developing lithium iron phosphate EV batteries that have a range of 250 miles with the ability to charge in 10 minutes. It also is expected to have a lifeti... » read more
