Intel and Numonyx Unveil Stacked, Cross Point Phase Change Memory

Intel and Numonyx held a press conference earlier today to discuss a phase change memory (PCM) breakthrough many years in the making. The companies have been jointly exploring the possibilities of multi-layered or stacked PCM cell arrays, and have finally been able to demonstrate a 64Mb test chip that has the ability.These vertically integrated memory cells, dubbed PCMS (phase change memory and switch), will be comprised of one PCM element layered with an Ovonic Threshold Switch (OTS) in a true cross point array. Intel and Numonx PCMS, Phase Change Memory and Switch PCM memory uses material state as an identifier, either crystalline or amorphous, to determine the state of a cell (1 or 0) and... Read more...
