NAND Flash to lead all others as IC market growth returns in 2020
IC Insights is in the process of revising its forecast and analysis of the IC industry and will present its new findings in The McClean Report 2020, which will be released in January 2020. Among the revisions is a complete update of forecast growth rates of the 33 main product categories classified by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics organisation (WSTS) through the year 2024. The top five categories for IC product growth are covered in th...
Paving the way to extreme scaling for logic and memory transistors
At this year’s IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting, imec, reported an in-depth study of scaled transistors with MoS2 and demonstrated best device performance to date for such materials. MoS2 is a 2D material, meaning that it can be grown in stable form with nearly atomic thickness and atomic precision. Imec synthesised the material down to monolayer (0.6nm thickness) and fabricated devices with scaled contact and channel length...
Utilising novel split-gate technology to boost bit density
KIOXIA Europe has announced the development of the first three-dimensional (3D) semicircular split-gate flash memory cell structure 'Twin BiCS FLASH' using specially designed semicircular Floating Gate (FG) cells. Twin BiCS FLASH achieves programme slope and a larger programme/erase window at a much smaller cell size compared to conventional circular Charge Trap (CT) cells.
NVMe data storage solution targets high performance computing
Aldec has launched a powerful, versatile and time-saving FPGA-based NVMe Data Storage solution to aid in the development of High Performance Computing (HPC) applications such as High Frequency Trading and Machine Learning.
Samples released for ECC DRAM product line
Four years after bringing the first DRAM with on-chip ECC in DDR1, DDR2 and DDR3 technologies to the market, Intelligent Memory is expanding the product line again adding a new series of LPDDR4(X) memory components with integrated ECC error-correction capability.
SO-DIMM modules with or without ECC in range of temperatures
Memphis Electronic has announced that it is now sampling 32GB DDR4 modules for industrial applications. Many of today’s CPUs are designed to support up to 32GB of unbuffered DDR4 per available UDIMM or SO-DIMM slot, until now, such high density modules have been rarely available on the market.
Enabling MCUs to explore e-AI solutions
Renesas Electronics has implemented Macronix’s dedicated OctaBus to support Macronix 8 I/O octaflash Memory MX25UW51245G, octaram and octamcp products on the Renesas RZ/A2M group of high-end Arm-based microprocessors (MPUs) and its evaluation boards for high-speed processing of e-AI imaging in smart appliances, service robots, and industrial machinery.
SDRAM and NOR flash feature at embedded world 2020
Following on its successful debut appearance last year Alliance Memory returns to embedded world in Nuremberg (February 25-27, 2020) to highlight its SRAM, pseudo SRAM, NOR Flash, and DRAM memory ICs for embedded communications, telecom, and consumer electronics, the company will feature a range of products of interest to European customers.
Memory solutions reduce memory costs and retain data at power loss
Microchip has announced a new family of Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) EERAM memory products that offers system designers up to 25% cost savings over the current serial Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM) alternatives. The family introduces four reliable SPI densities to Microchip’s EERAM portfolio, ranging from 64Kb up to 1Mb.
