Spin Transfer Technologies to Discuss the Looming SRAM Catastrophe at Semicon West
Spin Transfer Technologies, Inc.

WHAT:
|
|
Dr. Andrew Walker, VP of Product at Spin Transfer Technologies,
Inc (STT), will present during the Semicon
West Conference. STT is developing fundamental magnetic memory
technologies that position spin-transfer torque (STT)-MRAM to
replace SRAM and DRAM. Dr. Walker will discuss how SRAM's high
leakage and limitations in scaling in advanced FinFET CMOS
processes will soon limit the total cache capacity on the compute
chip. During the New Memories program session, Dr. Walker will
discuss how this "looming SRAM catastrophe" will cause bottlenecks
in compute capabilities and dramatic rises in system energy use.
While there are well known concerns about the scalability issues
of DRAM and NAND Flash (even with 3-D technology), SRAM is now
also under scrutiny. In his presentation, Dr. Walker will discuss
the advancements being made to extend MRAM from its current
application as an embedded nonvolatile solution, and how it could
overcome the data bottleneck and reduce system energy use. Through
new innovations in the area of materials and circuit design, MRAM
is starting to become an attractive replacement for SRAM. He will
also discuss how this magnetic migration and subsequent
innovations may allow MRAM to reach parts of the memory hierarchy
that other memory types have been unable to reach.
