that pic is hard
oh but they do link to numemory.com, and https://www.numemory.com/xxccjs does mention phase change memory, as well as ferroelectric ram, rram, stt-mram... It seems like Numemory is investigating a number of different technologies. Also, their NM101 press release has no info https://www.numemory.com/newsinfo/7625877.html.
is there a source with more detail? english language web doesn't find anything on this company besides the scmp article. afaict SCM means an intel optane type memory (between dram and flash). i wonder if its a phase change memory technology....
MEMS are also made of silicon. ~~quartz oscillators were basically the first MEMS.~~ (i wrote that but actually its not true lol. something else cool is saw filters which kind of build on the concept of quartz oscillators btw) cool fact: the reason helium kills MEMS is because the atoms are so small that they can diffuse their way through the wall of the device, filling it up with helium and the air resistance then stops it from working!
here's some background information and speculation, as someone not involved in the industy. the silicon wafers used for making chips are big single crystals, which are made by the Czochralski method the crucible is also made of silica and needs to be very perfect, so that no crystals are seeded from the walls, so it makes sense to me that the crucible needs to be at least the purity of the desired silicon wafers - which is at least 99.9999% pure and for research-grade samples 99.99999999% pure. I suspect that the leading-edge nodes requires the high-end of this scale. Its economical to start with the highest purity material that you can, which according to Conway's Material World comes from spruce pine, but its possible to use a lower grade starting material.
it seems like every time i search for anything it comes up with a million ai-generated wordpress pages with the same basic structure. obviously being churned out as someone's "passive income" scheme. I wonder if there is a search engine with a way to filter out all wordpress sites...
taken out by the same "hard drive failure" as leftypol. "We are still hoping to get access to the backups once the old admin sees that we need him to give us access."
NO INVESTIGATION, NO RIGHT TO SPEAK
Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn't that too harsh? Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense. Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak? Quite a few comrades always keep their eyes shut and talk nonsense, and for a Communist that is disgraceful. How can a Communist keep his eyes shut and talk nonsense?
It won't do!
It won't do!
You must investigate!
You must not talk nonsense!
