Tiny company challenges IBM with alternate technology

Theoretically, both designs should be easier to manufacture than spin valves or tunnel junctions. They tolerate heat well. And Johnson notes that his design requires only half as many etching steps as DRAMs. Moreover, "unlike all other memories, [magram] can be deposited on glass--perhaps even plastic--instead of single-crystal silicon," Sadwick claims as he shows, during a visit by Scientific American, a glass slide covered in gold wires leading to a one-millimeter-square array of Hall effect sensors. That versatility should allow the memory to be cheap even if it cannot shrink to the submicron cell sizes of its competitors, he argues. With single cells already working, Sadwick says, "I see no reason why we can't get eight-bit commercial samples this year."
