  9. HDDs in the last 30 years Capacity: 3.75 MB  4 TB Volume: refrigerator  20 mL Weight: 910 kg  48 g Density: 2 kbit/in2  600 Gbit/in2 Price: 15k USD/MB  0.0001 USD/MB Access time: 100 ms  3 ms Fundamental Digital Electronics

  10. Millipede Memory Fundamental Digital Electronics

  11. Millipede Memory: Concept Store bits as high density “divots” in a polymer film Use many nanoscopic cantilever tips in parallel to read and write Achieve stability of HDD and speed of DRAM… Fundamental Digital Electronics

  12. Millipede Memory: Read Read: probe tip heated to 300 C, and moved over data point; measure temperature of the canitlever; if there is a divot, heat will leak from the tip quickly; if not. heat will leak slowly. Fundamental Digital Electronics

  13. Millipede Memory: Write Write “1”: probe tip heated to 400 C (above glass transition) and pushed into the surface; tip pulled away after cooling. Write “0”: prove tip heated to 400 C and pushed into the surface; tip pulled away still hot, allowing surface tension to pull the surface flat. Fundamental Digital Electronics
