John, Intel to design Ovonics test chip with Azalea Microelectronics. Message 16653849 What is the deal with endurance on this technology? The test chip will be a 0.18-micron, 3-volt CMOS design. It is said to have direct overwrite capability, so the cells do not have to be erased before they are programmed. The chip can endure 1012 cycles, and can retain data for 10 years at 120°C. The chip will be described next February at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference in San Francisco. I also see the test chip densities are at 4 Mbit. By the time they have a practical prototype ready for incorporation into consumer devices I suspect that flash memory will be at several gigabit densities. Aus Aus
