New HP Memristor Material Developments

At the recent NCCAVS Thin Film Users Group meeting in November, HP was on the program in the person of Joshua Yang who gave a materials centric look at the status of the HP ReRAM (Memristor) program. A colleague passed on the informative set of slides presented at the meeting. Being a former process integration team leader, I was immediately struck by a couple of TEMs on the Roadmap slide during my first scan of the presentation! Joining up a few dots and tracking down the reference (a joint paper with SK Hynix at the 2012 VLSI Technology Symposium*), the TEMs are probably from the Hynix/HP collaboration and show a 54nm (half pitch?) cross bar array fabricated over larger technology node CMOS.
