Intel Corp. and Numonyx B.V. announced a breakthrough in the development of phase-change memory (PCM) today that has the potential to allow developers to stack multiple layers of PCM arrays in a single die, thereby greatly increasing the density of the nonvolatile memory medium.
Calling the discovery a "milestone" in phase-change memory development, the researchers said they have so far only been able to build a single-layer, 64Mbit chip with the potential for other 64Mbit arrays to be stacked along with it.
Greg Atwood, a senior technology fellow at Numonyx, said the breakthrough in stackable PCM, which is being called ...
