VRAM High-density memory under test
Article Abstract:
Nonvolatile Electronics Inc is testing and debugging a new type of digital memory which will be presented in a prototype Vertical Giant Magnetoresistance Ramdom Access Memory (VRAM) array. The VRAM array will be fully integrated wtih silicon-based electronics. It has the ability to replace all mechanically driven storage media including compact discs and computer hard drives. It should lead to a 100- to 1,000-fold increase in storage capacity compared with semiconductor memory.
