Date: 24 Sep 2019

Time: 02:30 PM to 03:30 PM

Venue: Room no. 301, GG Building, Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Bombay, Powai, Mumbai 400076

Abstract:

In this talk, I will provide an outline of future growth in-memory technology, challenges, and opportunities. Scaling is hitting the limits and innovation through engineering solutions are overcoming challenges. As new applications demand enormous data storage, such solutions are critically needed to continue growth. I will start with a perspective on current technologies, a brief insight into system challenges and take few
examples from an emerging memory technology (resistive RAM) to highlight fundamental device challenges that require solutions from a diverse spectrum of fields. This is a great time to be working in semiconductor technology where innovations in materials, device structures, and architectures are enabling powerful systems that were considered science fiction just a few years ago.
