IMEC is a world-leading
independent research center in nanoelectronics and nanotechnology. IMEC vzw is
headquartered in Leuven, Belgium, has a sister company in the Netherlands,
IMEC-NL, offices in the US, China and Taiwan, and representatives in Japan. Its
staff of more than 1600 people includes more than 500 industrial residents and
guest researchers. In 2007, its revenue (P&L) was EUR 244.5 million. IMEC's
More Moore research aims at semiconductor scaling towards sub-32nm nodes. With
its More than Moore research, IMEC looks into technologies for nomadic embedded
systems, wireless autonomous transducer solutions, biomedical electronics,
photovoltaics, organic electronics and GaN power electronics. IMEC's research
bridges the gap between fundamental research at universities and technology
development in industry. Its unique balance of processing and system know-how,
intellectual property portfolio, state-of-the-art infrastructure and its strong
network worldwide position IMEC as a key partner for shaping technologies for
future systems. Further information on IMEC can be found at www.imec.be.

In October 2008
IMEC said it had
started
new research activities on resistive RAM (RRAM) cells.
Resistive
switching memories are based on materials whose resistivity can be electrically
switched between high and low conductive states. RRAM is becoming of interest
for future scaled memories because of their superior intrinsic scaling
characteristics compared to the charge-based Flash devices, and potentially
small cell size (enabling dense crossbar RRAM arrays using vertical diode
selecting elements). RRAM is seen as a potential candidate to replace
conventional Flash memory and hence to push NVM technology towards the
(sub-)22nm technology node. e), RRAM cell scaling and RRAM integration in a
crossbar RRAM array.

Editor:- May 1, 2015 -Who's
doing what re the commercialization of
ReRAM
- one of the seldomly heard from
NVM cousins - can be
learned in a new article -
Taking
Embedded ReRAM to 28nm - written by Peter Clarke
which appeared in IHSElectronics360.
Among
other things re ReRAM - Peter Clarke says - "It has been the subject of
much research over the last decade because it had been predicted that NAND
flash memory would fail to scale beyond critical dimensions of 20nm."
The
article (citing among other sources - a paper by IMEC) tells you which
companies are still in this technology and discusses current memory densities
and controllers. ...read
