Memory Hierarchy Shakeup
Semiconductor Engineering, by Mark Lapedus.
Gaps in the memory hierarchy have created openings for new types of memory, and there is no shortage of possibilities.
The next big thing is a second-generation MRAM technology called spin-transfer torque MRAM (STT-MRAM). STT-MRAM is an effect in which the orientation of a magnetic layer in a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) can be modified using a spin-polarized current.

MRAM Hits Flash Arrays in M.2 Module
TORONTO — Everspin Technologies Inc. (Chandler, Ariz.) built its business as a magnetoresistive RAM (MRAM) company through industrial and automotive applications, but it’s always been looking at broader applications for both its MRAM and Spin-Torque MRAM (ST-MRAM), particularly for applications that require data persistence and integrity, low latency, and security.
Now its MRAM has found its way into the M.2 form factor as part of Aupera Technologies' (Vancouver, BC) All Flash Array. The AupM001 is an M.2 MRAM module designed with Everspin’s EMD3D064M ST-MRAM. Its initial capacity is 32 MB, with higher capacities becoming available soon, said Everspin president and CEO Phill LoPresti in a telephone interview with EE Times. “We feel this is right in the sweet spot we targeted the products for when we started development."

Everspin and Aupera reveal the first all-MRAM Storage Module in the M.2 Form Factor
Everspin Technologies, Inc., and Aupera Technologies Inc., announce the world’s first all-MRAM storage module in the M.2 form factor, the Aupera AupM001. The AupM001 is equipped with Everspin’s non-volatile, high endurance, 64 Mb DDR3 ST-MRAM devices and a PCIe backhaul interface. It is currently used in Aupera’s All Flash Array system for parity check and as a hardware accelerated engine for specific applications that require low latency and high performance. The initial capacity is 32 MB, with higher capacity options coming soon.

Thanks For The Memories
by Tom Coughlin, Forbes
Technology is the great generator of wealth in the modern world. It is by the application of applied thought and its expression in the world around us that much of our economy is based. Digital storage and memory are key elements in this great generator of value, as these are devices that retain content and make it available for our use.

3DNAND, MRAM, RRAM: Emerging Opportunities and Challenges for the Changing Memory Market
By Paula Doe, SEMI
Ever growing volumes of data to be stored and accessed, and advancing process technologies for sophisticated control of deposition and etch in complex stacks of new materials, are creating a window of opportunity for an emerging variety of next-generation non-volatile memory technologies. While Flash memory goes vertical for higher densities, resistive RAM and spin-transfer magnetic RAM technologies are moving towards commercial manufacture for initial applications in niches that demand a different mix of speed, power and endurance than flash or SRAM.
