This report covers the effort for the first eight months of 1978. The contract has been redirected from the ion damage writing concept to one based on electron beam milling of thin layers of selenium-arsenic on silicon diode detectors. Background surrounding the redirection can be found in the introduction. Work in the reporting period has concentrated on evaluating two all-electron beam storage concepts (alloy junction and electron beam milling). The ...

During this six-month period, work on the Advanced Archival Memory System has been concentrated on an ion-implantation based storage concept. Beam and target systems have been developed in parallel. Also, alternative data storage approaches have continued to be explored, and overall systems applications have been studied to provide guidance regarding the important technical parameters. The high current ion writing station appears feasible, and detailed design and construction were begun. However, ...

During this reporting period, effort in the archival memory program included experimental work and theoretical studies on a planar diode structure (memory target substrate), implantation of ions to write information on a planar diode structure, feasibility studies of the alloy junction method of writing, and the specification of a high performance electron beam write station for alloy junction writing. A detailed analytical modeling study was initiated in order to properly ...

The objective of this research is to investigate the feasibility of new storage techniques for large archival memories using ion and electron beam with semiconductor targets. The goal is the development of an archival memory capable of storing 10 to the (14th to 15th) power bits with rapid access to the stored information. During this reporting period, effort included experimental work and theoretical studies on planar diode structures (memory target ...

Design, Fabrication, and Evaluation of an Electron Beam Addressable High Information Density Memory Tube.

OCT 1975

Authors: C. Q. Lemmond; W. C. Hughes; C. G. Kirkpatrick; G. E. Possin; J. K. Fisher; GENERAL ELECTRIC CORPORATE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT SCHENECTADY N Y

The tube is to be a sealed-off, self-contained unit consisting of an electron source, the necessary electron optics for performing the required write and read functions, and a storage structure containing approximately 1.8 x 10 to the 7th power elements. A reliable and well-engineered memory tube demonstrating life and environmental characteristics are objectives of this program. Two memory tubes are the goal of the program. Vibration tests were conducted on ...
