In this paper, recent progress of phase change memory (PCM) is reviewed. The electrical and thermal properties materials are surveyed with a focus on the scalability their impact device design. Innovations in structure, cell selector, strategies for achieving multibit operation 3-D, multilayer high-density arrays described. scaling PCM illustrated experimental results using special test structures novel material synthesis. Factors affecting reliability discussed.
Dense crossbar arrays of non-volatile memory (NVM) devices represent one possible path for implementing massively-parallel and highly energy-efficient neuromorphic computing systems. We first review recent advances in the application NVM to three paradigms: spiking neural networks (SNNs), deep (DNNs), 'Memcomputing'. In SNNs, synaptic connections are updated by a local learning rule such as spike-timing-dependent-plasticity, computational approach directly inspired biology. For DNNs, can...
While naive Bayes is quite effective in various data mining tasks, it shows a disappointing result the automatic text classification problem. Based on observation of for natural language text, we found serious problem parameter estimation process, which causes poor results domain. In this paper, propose two empirical heuristics: per-document normalization and feature weighting method. these are somewhat ad hoc methods, our proposed classifier performs very well standard benchmark...
We survey progress in the PCM field over past five years, ranging from large-scale demonstrations to materials improvements for high–temperature retention and faster switching. Both new cell designs that support lower-power switching are discussed, as well higher reliability long cycling endurance. Two paths towards density discussed: through 3D integration by combination of 3D-capable access devices, multiple bits per cell, understanding managing resistance drift caused structural...

We demonstrate a neuromorphic core with 64k-cell phase change memory (PCM) synaptic array (256 axons by 256 dendrites) in-situ learning capability. configurable on-chip neuron circuits perform leaky integrate and fire (LIF) weight update based on spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP). 2T-1R PCM unit cell design separates LIF STDP paths, minimizing circuit size. The implementation of algorithm along structure enables both to operate asynchronously simultaneously within the array, avoiding...

Thermal conduction in GeSbTe films strongly influences the writing energy and time for phase change memory (PCM) technology. This study measures thermal conductivity of Ge2Sb2Te5 between 25 340°C layers with thicknesses near 60, 120, 350nm. A strong thickness dependence is attributed to a combination boundary resistance (TBR) microstructural imperfections. Stoichiometric variations significantly alter transition temperatures but do not impact at given temperature. work makes progress on...
