Glassy-electret random access memory - A naturally nanoscale memory concept

The self-heating effect (SHE) is a growing problem for decananometer CMOS and beyond with substantial efforts dedicated to mitigation. Here, we present a new memory concept which instead requires SHE exacerbation. As such, this memory concept is naturally suitable for extreme scaling. Preliminary result of this memory concept is demonstrated with an external heater as the SHE surrogates.
