February 4, 2014, Photonics West Conference, Nano/BioPhotonics, San Francisco—Min Gu from Swinburne University presented his efforts in direct laser writing (DLW) to create materials that mimic biological materials. This construction can supply new characteristics to existing materials. In the biological world, many organisms have color, but the colors are not pigmentation. The colors are due…
July 8, 2013, IMEC Technology Forum, San Francisco—An Steegen from Imec displayed the power, area, cost, and performance requirements for continuation of process scaling. The biggest challenge is that the increasing data traffic due to mobile and cloud drives optical scaling at the cost of power limits, increased process complexity, and cost. As defined by…
January 29, 2013, SNIA Non-Volatile Memory Summit, Santa Clara, CA—Garret Swart from Oracle identified the potential benefits for applications with the new storage architectures. The different memory structures and performance levels calls for new programming styles. With the advent of DRAM-compatible NVM technologies, the choices for NVM, connectivity, and form factors allows for greater diversity…
August 10, 2011, flash memory summit, Santa Clara, CA—Seaung Suk Lee from Hynix talked about the need for low cost, high reliability NAND to enable solutions in storage. The increase in bit density has impacted flash endurance and data retention, adding to the challenges facing flash development. First, some market statistics. This year, flash is…
