FH - 4th International Conference
Emerging Materials, Technologies and Applications for Non-volatile Memory and Memristive Devices

Non-volatile memory and memristive devices are currently key elements of several electronic and portable systems, and their market and potential applications are expected to continuously increase in the next years, also towards in-memory and neuromorphic computing. Several advanced concepts (RRAM, CBRAM, PCM, MRAM, Electrochemical memory /ECRAM), STT-MRAM, FRAM, 2D based memristive devices, threshold switching,....), exploiting innovative materials and physical mechanisms, are under investigation to achieve better performance, higher scalability, and to address novel applications for more efficient, intelligent and secure computing systems. Besides pursuing the downscaling of non-volatile memories in terms of minimum size and integration density, the new paradigm is also directed to devices that can integrate multiple functionalities, such as computing and storing information at the same time. This approach will enable the fabrication of novel low power nanoelectronics circuits with potential applications in several fields, including computation schemes emulating the brain functionality, flexible electronics and non-volatile logics.
This symposium will address recent advances on non-volatile memory devices and memristive systems, with focus on innovative storage concepts, new materials and devices, integration schemes and selectors for the storage elements, understanding and modelling of the physical mechanisms for data storage down to the nanoscale, memristive devices and novel applications for von Neumann Computing and beyond.
