This information is probably old hat to most of the experts on this thread but I thought that I would post it again, as I am just beginning to deal with the fact that ENERGY CONVERSION DEVICES has a real honest to goodness success story on their hands. First I read that that they have produced a 64 megabit chip then this with CMOS technology. I would think that scaling up to 256 or 512 meg is not far away. I wonder when some kind of licensing fee and ongoing royalty begin kicking in? By the way the armed forces were thrilled with the memory that BAE was producing for them. So why is the price of the stock so suckeee? Samsung Develops P-RAM Samsung Electronics, the world’s largest chipmaker, yesterday said it has succeeded in developing technology to produce a next-generation memory chip called Phase Change Random Access Memory (P-RAM). P-RAM can process data 1,000 times faster than existing memory chips, including flash memory chips, and store 1 bit of data when images change into crystalline structures from amorphous states, according to company officials. The new technology will enable memory chips to store data for 20 years, even at a temperature of 70 degrees Celsius, and be used up to 2 billion times. Memory chips with the technology are expected to replace NOR-type flash memory chips, which are used in mobile phones, if they become available on the market. Samsung officials said they applied the technology of complementary metal oxide semiconductors, which are easy to manufacture and commercialize. 07-07-2003 16:02
