Current status of the phase change memory and its future
Abstract
With the increasing challenge of scaling floating gate nonvolatile memory technology to beyond 65 nm, alternative memory technologies are being investigated. Chalcogenide based phase change memory (R. Neale et al, Electronics, p56-60, 1970) is one of the alternative memory candidates. In this review, the physics and operation of phase change memory are first presented, followed by a discussion of the current status of development. Finally, the scaling capability of the technology is 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.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
