New Ferroelectric Material for Embedded FRAM LSIs

Overview

The strong growth of information network infrastructures in the society has enabled personal authentication services for electronic money systems and ticketless trans- portation services to become firmly established. Secure, high-speed, and low power consumption nonvolatile memories will be required for mobile devices used with smart RFID tags and secure IC cards. Ferroelectric Random Access Memory (FRAM) is one of the best choices for these applications. Market needs must be paid attention for these mobile and secure applications.
