Abstract generation in progress

Mars Finance News, May 22: Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology in the United States have developed a new type of NAND flash memory. It can efficiently handle artificial intelligence (AI) tasks and withstand extreme radiation in space, with its radiation resistance reaching 30 times that of traditional NAND flash memory. The related research paper has been published in the latest issue of Nano Letters magazine.

The new NAND flash memory uses the ferroelectricity of hafnium oxide materials that are compatible with silicon processing. Specifically, within a certain temperature range, the material will spontaneously generate polarization, and the polarization direction can be reversed under the action of an external electric field. This feature gives ferroelectric materials strong application potential in information storage, sensing, artificial intelligence, and next-generation low-power chips.

Test results show that this ferroelectric flash memory can withstand up to 1 million rads (radiation absorbed dose), equivalent to 100 million X-ray exposures. Its radiation tolerance is 30 times that of traditional memory. (Science and Technology Daily)

100 million X-ray exposures... How was this data measured, and how much does the laboratory equipment cost?

The choice of hafnium oxide material is brilliant; finally, no more fighting with silicon processes.
