Session 7 overview: Nonvolatile memory solutions

Market demand for higher density, higher performance but lower price nonvolatile memory is increasing. This year, NAND Flash memories answer such demand with more evolved 3D technologies such as 48-layer stacking and peripherals under the cell array while PCRAM introduces an MLC-enabling scheme to double its density. Emerging memories pursue a system-level contribution for higher performance and lower energy consumption by replacing the volatile memory blocks.
