Memory Device Technologies and Circuit Design

Function Hub / Microelectronics · 3 Credits

This course covers semiconductor memory technologies and circuit design from the device bit-cell structures to the memory array design with an emphasis on the industry trends and cutting-edge technologies. The topics include discussions of mainstream volatile and nonvolatile memory device technologies (e.g., SRAM, DRAM, FLASH) and their limitations. To go beyond these mature technologies, the course also explores emerging memory device technologies, followed by an introduction of their new applications, including processing-in-memory, compute-in-memory, neuromorphic hardware, etc.
