Over the past decade, we've seen a slew of rewritable (RW) memory devices: Phase change memory, resistive RAM and MRAM, just to name a few. What is sorely needed is an architecture that allows these RW devices to be built into chips that compete with NAND flash memory. We'll describe MonolithIC 3D Inc.'s solution to this problem in this blog-post...  We have a guest contribution today from Brian Cronquist, our VP of Technology. Brian reports on his trip to Whistler, Canada, for the CMOS Emerging Technologies Workshop. We made the first public presentation of our monolithic 3D DRAM at the AVS 3D workshop last week. Let me share details of the technology with you in this blog-post...  This week has been a busy week for our company. We were invited to speak at three different forums across the continent! Zvi Or-Bach, our President and CEO, went to Chicago to speak at a 3D workshop at the TIPP 2011. I went to speak at a 3D workshop at San Jose and Brian Cronquist, our VP of Technology, went to Canada to speak at the CMOS Emerging Technologies workshop. In this blog-post, Zvi discusses his time at the 3D workshop @ Chicago. As you'd know, I spent three years at SanDisk before joining MonolithIC 3D Inc. Unfortunately, my time in the flash memory industry coincided with some of it's worst years. I saw huge losses, big layoffs, ridiculous price declines and a hostile take-over attempt :-( Based on this, you'd think flash memory is one of the most difficult parts of the semiconductor industry. Not true. The DRAM industry is so cut-throat that the flash industry appears benign in comparison.  We have a guest contribution today from Israel Beinglass, the CTO of MonolithIC 3D Inc. Israel was at Applied Materials for almost two decades, and served as Chief Technology Officer and Chief Marketing Officer for many groups there. In this blog-post, Israel discusses an interesting trend he sees in the semiconductor industry today. A few weeks back, in my "Looking Beyond Lithography" post, I explained the reasons why flash memory makers such as Toshiba, Samsung and Hynix are exploring an alternative approach to Moore's law. In this blog-post, let's see if this approach is viable for logic technologies...  We have a guest contribution today from Zvi Or-Bach, the President and CEO of MonolithIC 3D Inc. In this post, Zvi discusses the implications of monolithic 3D for embedded memories. |
