Mechanisms and Selectivity during Atomic Layer Deposition of Germanium Chalcogenides for Storage Class Memory Applications KU Leuven
Memory and data storage technologies can be classified in a hierarchical way, with the CPU-internal DRAM memory on top, offering extremely fast access to a very limited number of data but at a high cost/byte. At the bottom there are Hard Disk Drives, more and more replaced by Solid State Drives using NAND flash technology, for cheap and reliable storage of tons of data but quite a bit slower. Between these two extremes, a new class is ...
