As the automotive industry continues to evolve, the demands for high-capacity, high-speed storage solutions are intensifying. Autonomous vehicles and V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communication systems generate and process massive amounts of data, necessitating advanced storage technologies capable of meeting these… Read More
This year’s Future of Memory and Storage Conference (formerly the Flash Memory Summit) was again very well attended. The Santa Clara Convention Center is definitely the place to be for a Silicon Valley Conference.
This post is about the Emerging Memories session organized by Dave Eggleston. We will be covering other sessions… Read More
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a thin-film deposition method that continues to enable continuous advances in semiconductor device fabrication. Essentially, it involves exposing substrates sequentially to at least two different vapor phase atmospheres in which self-limiting reactions take place on the surface: the first… Read More
In an era defined by digital transformation and data-intensive applications, the solid-state device (SSD) market has emerged as a critical player in reshaping storage solutions. While there are several types of non-volatile memories, each with its own unique characteristics and use cases, Flash memory is increasingly overtaking… Read More
Even though we all know that reducing power consumption in NAND Flash Storage is a good idea, it is worthwhile to take a deeper dive into the underlying reasons for this. A white paper by Hyperstone, a leading developer of Flash controllers, discusses these topics providing useful insight into the problem and its solutions. The … Read More
In order to beat Moore’s Law NAND Flash memories have moved from a planar topology to 3D construction. This allows for increased memory sized in much the same way a multistory building provides more building square footage on the same size building lot. Just like in building construction, adding a third dimension to the mix increases… Read More
Flash memory has become ubiquitous, so much so that it is easy to forget what life before it was like. Large scale non-volatile storage was limited spinning disks, which were bulky, power hungry and unreliable. With NAND Flash, we have become used to carrying many gigabytes around with us all the time in the form of cell phones, USB… Read More
On the Sunday evening at IEDM last year, TechInsights held a reception in which Arabinda Das and Jeongdong Choe gave presentations that attracted a roomful of conference attendees. Arabinda was first up, giving a talk on the “10-year Journey of Apple’s iPhone and Innovations in Semiconductor Technology”, followed by Jeongdong… Read More
I’d wager that if I mention autonomous vehicles, the first thing that you would think of would be autonomous cars. The truth is that we will see many other kinds autonomous vehicles in the years ahead. Their applications will range from package delivery to saving lives on the battlefield. Of course, to some extent they are already… Read More
The move to SSD storage for enterprise use brings with it the need for difficult to design enterprise capable SSD controller SOC’s. The benefits of SSD in hyperscale data centers are clear. SSD’s offer higher reliability due to the elimination of moving parts. They have a smaller foot print, use less power and offer much better performance.… Read More
