[Legacy Report] From Deep Trenches to Skyscrapers: A walk down Memory Lane

---

Memory technology and the memory business has for many years been the engine that powered technological innovations in the semiconductors especially in the area of lithography and innovative micro-structural engineering. While stand-alone memory itself has been commoditized, when embedded in high performance logic it provides incredible leverage for high performance processors, network and mobile appliances, and almost every application. In this talk, we will explore the course of memory in systems, especially DRAM, integration of deep trench technology into high performance logic, the value it brings as well as the collateral advantages it has brought about in power management, noise decoupling, autonomic chip repair and its potential evolution into 3-dimensional chip technology.
