Current Status of the Phase Change Memory and Its Future
Overview With the increasing challenge of scaling floating gate non-volatile memory technology to beyond 65 nm, alternative memory technologies are being investigated. Chalcogenide based phase change memory (1) is one of the alternative memory candidates. In this review, the physics and operation of phase change memory will first be presented, followed by discussion of current status of development. Finally, the scaling capability of the technology will be presented. The scaling projection shows that there is no physical limit to scaling down to the 22 nm node with a number of technical challenges being identified.
