This CHDS system consists of laser diodes, photorefractive crystal, spatial light modulator, photodetector array, and I/O electronic interface. In operation, pages of information would be recorded and retrieved with random access and high-speed. The non-volatile, rad-hard characteristics of the holographic memory will provide a revolutionary memory technology to enhance mission capabilities for all NASA’s Earth Science Mission. JPL is investigating an innovative angular multiplexing scheme for the holographic data storage to maximize the storage capacity, data transfer rate, and minimize the system volume. An experimental Liquid Crystal Beam Steering Spatial Light Modulator has been developed, with a industrial collaborator, to enable high-speed, high angular- resolution, random access beam steering for storing tens of thousand of page of holographic data in a cubic photorefractive crystal. In this paper, recent technology progress in developing this CHDS at JPL will be presented.

  • Introduction to Advanced Semiconductor Memories
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO ADVANCED SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORIES 1.1. SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORIES OVERVIEW The goal of Advanced Semiconductor Memories is to complement the material already covered in Semiconductor Memories. The earlier book covered the fol- lowing topics: random access memory technologies (SRAMs and DRAMs) and their application to specific architectures; nonvolatile technologies such as the read-only memories (ROMs), programmable read-only memories (PROMs), and erasable PROMs in both ultraviolet erasable (UVPROM) and electrically erasable (EEPROM) versions; memory fault modeling and testing; memory design for testability and fault tolerance; semiconductor memory reliability; semiconductor memories radiation effects; advanced memory technologies; and high-density memory packaging technologies [1]. This section provides a general overview of the semiconductor memories topics that are covered in Semiconductor Memories. In the last three decades of semiconductor memories' phenomenal growth, the DRAMs have been the largest volume volatile memory produced for use as main computer memories because of their high density and low cost per bit advantage. SRAM densities have generally lagged a generation behind the DRAM. However, the SRAMs offer low-power consumption and high-per- formance features, which makes them practical alternatives to the DRAMs. Nowadays, a vast majority of SRAMs are being fabricated in the NMOS and CMOS technologies (and a combination of two technologies, also referred to as the mixed-MOS) for commodity SRAMs. 1 2 INTRODUCTION TO ADVANCED SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORIES MOS Memory Market ($M) Non-Memory IC Market ($M) Memory % of Total IC Market 300,000 40% 250,000 30% 200,00U "o Q 15 150,000 20% 2 </> a. o 100,000 2 10% 50,000 0 0% 96 97 98 99 00 01* 02* 03* 04* 05* MOS Memory Market ($M) 36,019 29,335 22,994 32,288 49,112 51,646 56,541 70,958 94,541 132,007 Non-Memory IC Market ($M) 78,923 90,198 86,078 97,930 126,551 135,969 148,512 172,396 207,430 262,172 Memory % of Total IC Market 31% .

  • A Study About Non-Volatile Memories
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 29 July 2016 doi:10.20944/preprints201607.0093.v1 1 Article 2 A Study about Non‐Volatile Memories 3 Dileep Kumar* 4 Department of Information Media, The University of Suwon, Hwaseong‐Si South Korea ; [email protected] 5 * Correspondence: [email protected] ; Tel.: +82‐31‐229‐8212 6 7 8 Abstract: This paper presents an upcoming nonvolatile memories (NVM) overview. Non‐volatile 9 memory devices are electrically programmable and erasable to store charge in a location within the 10 device and to retain that charge when voltage supply from the device is disconnected. The 11 non‐volatile memory is typically a semiconductor memory comprising thousands of individual 12 transistors configured on a substrate to form a matrix of rows and columns of memory cells. 13 Non‐volatile memories are used in digital computing devices for the storage of data. In this paper 14 we have given introduction including a brief survey on upcoming NVMʹs such as FeRAM, MRAM, 15 CBRAM, PRAM, SONOS, RRAM, Racetrack memory and NRAM. In future Non‐volatile memory 16 may eliminate the need for comparatively slow forms of secondary storage systems, which include 17 hard disks. 18 Keywords: Non‐volatile Memories; NAND Flash Memories; Storage Memories 19 PACS: J0101 20 21 22 1. Introduction 23 Memory is divided into two main parts: volatile and nonvolatile. Volatile memory loses any 24 data when the system is turned off; it requires constant power to remain viable. Most kinds of 25 random access memory (RAM) fall into this category.

  • Holographic Memory (Holomem) Introduction & Tutorial
    Holographic Memory (Holomem) Introduction & Tutorial by Dr. Richard G. Zech1 My CeBIT 20012 Report contains a substantial analysis of holographic memories. The motivation for this effort was a claim by a German startup Optostor AG3 that it had essentially invented the "perpetual motion machine" of data storage. The company provided a read-only demonstration of its technology at CeBIT 2001, which, of course, came no where near matching its claims for storage density and capacity. Although I had not been expecting an actual operating holomem at CeBIT 2001, I was pleased to see it. I spoke at some length with Optostor's technology director to learn as much as possible. My intent was to give them a full and positive write up. However, I quickly realized he knew little about the technology, and, worse, the numbers he was quoting were impossible to obtain. I shared my concerns, and showed him how to calculate the correct numbers. I must have made an impression, because, Optostor reduced its claim for storage density (although the proposed new capacity still could not be achieved for other than a "write-only" holomem). After researching the matter carefully, I concluded that as research scientist and engineer who helped pioneer this field, I had duty to speak up. Rather than simply condemning what I thought might be a fraud, I decided to simply present the facts carefully analyzed, proceeded by an introduction and tutorial to holomems. The reader can then decide. The bottom line is a detailed exposition of the basics of holomems, supported by specific data provided by the excellent Holomem research of IBM.

To accommodate new demands and applications, there has been an improvement in the storage capacity of such devices. However, limitations in the optics have hindered the growth of these devices. The demand for bigger, faster memories has led to significant improvements in conventional memory technologies—hard disk drives & optical disks. But there is strong proof that these two-dimensional storage technologies are approaching fundamental limits- as the wavelength of light and the thermal stability of stored bits. Such limitations may be difficult to surmount. Storing data in three dimensions is a suitable approach to overcome these limitations and to also increase the storage level by a large amount.

  • Data Storage: Pushing the Physical Limits
    Report Number 2 January, 2003 Data Storage: Pushing the Physical Limits Executive Summary The gap between data storage research and the market has never been smaller. In the next five years, data storage technology is likely to advance along the familiar course of electronic memory chips, magnetic disk drives and CD-like removable media. Meanwhile, research in materials science and nanotechnology is paving the way for future storage media with huge capacities. Patterned media, which should be ready for applications in five years, is likely to bridge the gap between today’s magnetic disks and future technologies. There are several new media that could be ready for practical application in five to ten years: What to Look For • Arrays of nanowires Disk drives: • Patterns of electric charges or magnetic Patterned media particles stamped into thin films of plastic Terabit-per-square-inch patterned media • Holograms Very large, extraordinary or ballistic magnetoresistance • Single or small groups of molecules, including carbon nanotubes Optical devices: Twenty gigabytes on a CD-size disk via blue lasers Superfast microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) Practical near-field technology storage devices that use thousands of read/write heads, Practical holographic technology each positioned over a small area of recording media, could also be ready within the five to ten year time frame. Memory devices: The future storage media with the potential to store the Molecular layers most data per square inch is the atom. A prototype from the Nanowire transistors University of Wisconsin records bits as the presence or Bits in single carbon nanotubes absence of individual atoms, and has a capacity of 250 Bits in single molecules terabits per square inch, enough to store 10 DVDs worth of data on a pinhead.

One of these devices that will change market of optical disks is HVD. HVD disk uses holographic technology for reading/writing data that causes higher volume of storage and data transfer rate toward other optical storages. Keywords:- Holography, laser, servo data, HVD, optical Storage I. BRIEF HISTORY OF HOLOGRAPHY Holography was first used by Denis Gabor in the 1940s with a mercury arc lamp. His discovery did not immediately attract much attention due to the „incoherent‟ nature of the mercury light, and the resulting low quality results.With the 1960s invention of the laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation), holography now had the „coherent‟ light source needed to produce high-quality images. Coherent light is monochromatic, of a single wavelength, and from a single point source. In 1962 Emmett Leith and Juris Upatnieks create first laser transmission holograph of 3D objects. In 1962 Dr.
