Non-Volatile Nano-Electro-Mechanical Memory for Energy-Efficient Data Searching
2016
A compact non-volatile nano-electro-mechanical memory (NV-NEMory) cell design together with a novel memory array architecture and operating scheme is proposed for real-time data searching applications. Performance characteristics of a vertically oriented NV-NEMory cell with a small layout area of $8F^{2}$ , where $F$ is the minimum half-pitch, are investigated by static and transient device simulations. Data searching can be achieved directly in the memory by a two-step read operation, dramatically improving the latency and energy cost of each search query.
