This course offers a detailed study of the main families of memory devices, present in current technological objects. Once the economic / industrial context related to this type of components is presented, a state of the art will identify the main memory devices. Their operating mode will then be detailed, with the description of the underlying physical phenomena.
Topics :
- General notes on memory devices : the economic / industrial context, main families of memory devices, main characteristics
- Volatil memorie
- Traditional non-volatil memories : Flash, EEPROM, …
- Advanced non-volatil memories: resistive, ferroelectric, magnetic memories, with organic components
- Study of a specific memory device (to be choosen)
