The International Memory Workshop (IMW 2013) takes place this week in Monterey CA*. This is 5th IMW although the conference can trace its roots through the Non-Volatile Semiconductor Memory Workshops back to 1976. Spread over three days, the conference has some 53 presentations

Adesto Technologies held a get acquainted workshop recently in San Jose and David Viera, MarCom Director, was kind enough to forward me the presentation focused on CBRAM. The program started with a company introduction followed by

Intermolecular’s (IMI) Q1 Earnings Results and Conference Call threw some more light on their activities in the ReRAM and memory fields along with another puzzle. Dave Lazovsky, IMI CEO, announced they have signed a multi-year Collaborative Development Program (CDP) and IP licensing agreement …

No, I confess I had not heard of it either. It turns out that there are a number of ‘laws’ that purport to predict the evolution of technologies. In the semiconductor business we are only too familiar with Moore’s law

At the 2013 ISSCC, Panasonic presented a very detailed paper on improving ReRAM endurance (specifically forming and writing) in the same session as the Toshiba/SanDisk 32Gb chip (paper 12.1). The paper presents an ReRAM analysis based on the oxidation/reduction (redox) mechanism of filament …

At the 2013 Embedded World Exhibition at the end of February in Nuremberg, Panasonic announced their ReRAM containing MCU. Fortunately for those of you who missed this (as I did), Panasonic have a virtual booth available online

Like all the big memory companies, Micron invests a lot of time, money and resources into R&D pushing existing technology and developing ‘what comes next’ technology. Micron have a reputation for being at the forefront and, while not much is openly disclosed

A group in Argentina is studying ReRAM for use in harsh environments such as space and satellites based on the premise that the technology will have superior radiation hardness to conventional non-volatile memory, i.e. it inherently “Rad Hard”.

Overviews and forecasts of the semiconductor markets can provide a reality check on the more ‘controversial’ statements made about product roadmaps. Usually these are based on an optimistic view of technology readiness rather than the cold reality of market opportunity. I know, because …

While doing due diligence on the recent ISSCC posts, I came across mention of Toshiba/SanDisk’s development partner, Intermolecular (IM), based in San Jose, CA. (It just so happens that several former colleagues are currently working at IM as the Silicon Valley job cycle …
