Beijing time on September 1 news, according to foreign media reports, Hewlett-Packard announced on Tuesday that the company will cooperate with South Korean chip maker Hynix to launch a new type of computer memory chip, and will bring this new chip to market. Hynix is ​​the world’s second-largest memory chip manufacturer following Samsung Electronics.
According to the agreement between the parties, Hynix agreed to use the technology developed by Hewlett-Packard scientists to create this new type of memristor (memory resistor). The cooperation between the two sides also shows that more and more computer memory chips will be installed in smaller devices in the next few years. HP and Hynix jointly announced that the new memory chip will be put into the market after about three years.
From the current situation, this kind of “memristor†is most likely to be used in dense non-volatile semiconductor memory chips, that is, those that can be applied to cameras and individuals. Chips in flash memory cards such as computers.
The cooperation agreement between Hewlett-Packard and Hynix to build a memory chip is also an affirmation of the work of Leon O.Chua. Leon is a professor of electrical engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. As early as 1971, it proposed to develop the fourth generation of basic circuit components (the first three generations were resistors, capacitors, and inductors), and named it "Memristor" or "Memory Memristor," and proposed that Used as a simpler alternative to transistors, but later, this view is gradually being left out until 2006, the HP research team began to find and use it. Since then, memristors have gained the interest of industry, research institutes, and even the military.
The competition in the memory chip business has always been fierce. In this situation, memristors have also been regarded by most of the world’s leading semiconductor companies as laboratory and academic test products. However, HP researchers said that before the company decided to sign the above commercialization agreement with Hynix, it had already negotiated with many of the world's leading chip makers.
Stanley Williams, the scientist responsible for developing the memristor chip research project at Hewlett-Packard, said: "So far, memristor chips are better than flash chips." Stanley also said that memristors operate much faster than Flash memory chips, with very low power consumption, consume about one-tenth of the power of flash memory chips, which also helps to extend battery standby time.
Hewlett-Packard researchers have developed some plans to design a 1,000-layer chip based on "memristor," although HP admits that such a 1,000-layer chip device may not be able to play a huge practical value in terms of current manufacturing technology. .
