Nonvolatile Memory and Selector Devices, 2 Volumes - Technology and Applications

An introduction to foundational memory technology

Nonvolatile memory devices have become an ubiquitous component of consumer technology, appearing in products including smartphones, tablets and notebooks, and many more. They enable the high-speed permanent storage and readout of data with high reliability and low energy consumption. The growing incorporation of emerging materials, such as phase-change and two-dimensional materials, promise to further improve these devices and increase their technological reach.

Nonvolatile Memory and Selector Devices offers a hands-on overview of these devices and their applications, with a focus on those employing novel materials. It strongly emphasizes so-called selectors, the nanostructures whose intricate design is the basis for all advanced memory devices. Its emphasis on practical tools makes it a must-have for engineers and researchers alike.

Nonvolatile Memory and Selector Devices readers will also find:

• Devices with immediate potential for mass-fabrication using existing facilities
• An up-to-the-minute analysis of current and emerging research
• Chapters authored by high-profile researchers from academia and industry alike

Nonvolatile Memory and Selector Devices is ideal for all researchers and early-career professionals in research or development, looking to develop an understanding of this critical set of electronic components.
