The main objective of this project was the experimental demonstration of the theoretically predicted enhanced quantum-mechanical tunneling through layered ("crested") barriers. If demonstrated in silicon-compatible materials with sufficient endurance under electric stress, this effect may enable high-density, high-speed nonvolatile memories that may potentially replace DRAM as the main random access memories of semiconductor electronics. With that objective, we have combined the expertise at Stony Brook University in crested barrier theory ...
I will review several recent new ideas in the field of nanoelectronics that may eventually revolutionize the semiconductor memory and data storage technologies.
