Ultimate Guide: Embedded Non-Volatile Memory (eNVM)

Embedded non-volatile memories (eNVM) are memory blocks that are directly integrated semiconductor fabrication on the same die. Since eNVM memories are non-volatile, the data is retained even when the power is off. In addition, eNVMs are reprogrammable and erasable multiple times. Compared to external non-volatile memory technologies, eNVMs have lower

The Ultimate Guide to Gate-All-Around (GAA)

Introduction to Gate-All-Around (GAA) Transistors
Gate-all-around (GAA) transistors are a newly introduced type of transistor structure: the gate terminal connects with the channel on all sides. Gate-All-Around transistors are a multi-gate field effect transistors type where a silicon nanowire gate moves around the channel by further scaling down FinFET. The
