Semiconductor electronics: Trapped fast at the gate
Gerwin Gelinck1
Abstract
The speed record for programming organic transistor memory has been shattered. Work is needed on the stability of the memory storage, but it's a promising step towards some novel technological applications.
The advent of non-volatile flash memory — semiconductor memory that does not lose its data when the power is turned off — revolutionized consumer electronics. It is now used to store the numbers in mobile phones, the pictures taken with digital cameras, and the music tracks in MP3 players.
