Non-Volatile Memory Technology-Today and Tomorrow

Despite strong scaling limitations for both NOR and NAND flash memories, solutions to continue the Moore's law are also emerging. For NOR flash memory, 2-bit/cell NROM, BE-SONOS and phase-change chalcogenide memory show promise to scale below 35nm node. For NAND flash memory, new nitride storage devices such as TANOS and BE-SONOS are candidates for < 30 nm devices
