Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As scaling of electronic semiconductor devices displays signs of saturation, it is worth looking into emerging, beyond-CMOS technologies. Very promising emerging technologies currently in high industry demand are emerging nonvolatile memory devices, including resistive switching memory (RRAM), phase change memory (PCM), magnetoresistive random-access memory (MRAM), etc. Compared with flash memory, emerging nonvolatile memory has many merits such as fast switching speed, high endurance, and simple device structure. Over the past decade, emerging nonvolatile memory devices have achieved great advances in physical mechanisms, modelling, material, integration, architecture and application. In the context of potential applications, the area includes memory, neuromorphic computing, nonvolatile logic operation, and stochastic computing. Today, we can buy several commercialization standalone memory productions based on emerging nonvolatile memory in the semiconductor market. Meanwhile, merging nonvolatile memory can store and to process the information by using the same devices, which has made in-memory computing become a hot topic recently. This Special Issue demonstrates the state of the art and exemplifies the recent advances in the field of emerging nonvolatile memory devices for storage and computing, and brings together scholars from different scientific disciplines (including physics, materials science, electrical engineering, computer science, etc.) representing all aspects of emerging nonvolatile memory devices, from fundamentals to applications.
We look forward to receiving your submissions!
