IEDM 2009Baltimore MDDecember 7-9, 2009 Conference Report Dirk Wouters IEDM 2009 Conference Report - D.Wouters, IMEC - WIND project distribution
General comments • With over 30 high quality selected papers on memory, IEDM remains one of the top conferences on (Non-Volatile) Memory • 6 Sessions do explicitely mention “memory” in their title • Topics cover different types of NVM, with number of papers reflecting their importance (Flash > PCM > RRAM > MRAM > FRAM) IEDM 2009 Conference Report - D.Wouters, IMEC - WIND project distribution
Memory sessions 6 (out of 38) IEDM 2009 Conference Report - D.Wouters, IMEC - WIND project distribution
Memory papers : #31 • Flash : 14 (most on Charge Trap concepts) • PCM: 7 (3 from Numonyx, highlight on 1Gb 45nm PCM prototype) • RRAM: 5 (4 on metaloxide RRAM, 1 on CBRAM electrolytic type) • MRAM: 2 (focus on STT MRAM) • FERAM: 1 • Other: 2 • TOTAL: 31 IEDM 2009 Conference Report - D.Wouters, IMEC - WIND project distribution
General/Invited • 27.7 Future directions of NVM in compute applications (A.Fazio, intel) Indicated memory market growth opportunities in a new market segment. Compute memory is an opportunity for NAND, with SSD replacing HDD. New (RRAM) memory technologies may even offer better (DRAM-like) performance (so called storage class memory) so that NVM may cover even more positions upfront in the memory hierarchy, but cost and scaling are still open issues!

Flash papers #14 • CT ~9 • FG • 3D~3 A lot of papers on Flash, especially on Charge Trap Flash that is seen as possible scaling solution, either in 2D or in 3D (BICS) approach IEDM 2009 Conference Report - D.Wouters, IMEC - WIND project distribution
