World's Thinnest Flash Memory Cell Unveiled

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the angels-stored-on-the-head-of-pin dept.

qorkfiend writes "Measuring a scant 20 nanometers across, Infineon AG's new nonvolatile flash memory cell could lead to 32 gigabit flash chips within the next few years. The cell contains a unique structure with a fin for the transistor to avoid nano-scale physical effects and uses 90% less electrons than today's memory to store data."
