Electrical Characterization, Modeling and Simulation of CMOS Memory Devices

Dear Colleagues,

The memory systems of modern digital devices are increasingly becoming the center of attention for the research community and the semiconductor industry. On one hand, it is necessary to push forward with the development of new technologies for the digital devices of the future, like MRAMs, STT-RAMs and PCRAMs. On the other hand, it is necessary to consolidate the current technology through the search for new materials and architectures compatible with the current CMOS process in order to guarantee the integration of logic and memory in the same chip. In this context, this Special Issue aims to present studies on new materials and architectures for memory devices, conducted using methods of electrical characterization, modeling and device simulation and focused on consolidated themes such as non-volatile NAND flash and discrete-trap memories. Fully compatible technological options for the near future, such as resistive RAM memories, one-transistor (1T) and MIMCAP based DRAMs, will also be considered.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the Special Issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
