At no time in the history of the semiconductor industry has memory technology assumed such a pivotal position. The last decade has seen a remarkable shift in usage and value of semiconductor memory technologies. These changes have been driven by the elevation of three particular target applications for the development of memory technology performance attributes.
The first and most obvious shift is that mobile multimedia applications such as tablets and advanced cell phones have now replaced desktop data processing as the primary target for many new semiconductor technologies. The significance of this shift is that the smaller form factor and smaller semiconductor content automatically increases the percentage of value contributed by the ...
