Speech Title: Non-Volatile Memory Technology & Application Trends in Industry

Abstract: Flash memory is the most popular Non-Volatile memory in data storage industry. It is facing challenge of reliability and endurance when going to the next generation with the most advanced semiconductor process. Flash memory controller should take actions to clean the issues for the next generation Solid-State Drive with Flash Memory. At the same time, new memory devices, such as RRAM, MRAM and FeRAM, are exploring their niche market. However, these new memory technologies have to make trade-off to satisfy the unique applications. This key-note speech is going to allocate these memory devices in dedicated applications according to their advantages and disadvantages.
