 History
Nanotechnology since 1960s

NRAM by Nantero (Dr.Thomas Rueckes)

Carbon nanotube
 CARBON NANOTUBES

 Developed by Sumio Iijima

 An implementation nanotechnology

 Active memory element

CARBON NANOTUBES
CARBON NANOTUBES
 Advantages
 Very small in size.
 Low power consumption

 Disadvantage
 High cost
 Requirement of high precision
 Occurrence of impurities
STORAGE IN NRAM
 By positioning of charges.

 Data retained until overwritten or resetted.

 An electric field moves over array of

nanotubes.
 Read and write by an electric field
STORAGE IN NRAM
 ADVANTAGES
Faster & denser

Low power consumption

Data storage

Boot up
 LIMITATIONS
Over supply of DRAM

Is relatively costly

NRAM is still in research phase

 USES OF NRAM
 Flash memories into camera and cell

phone
 High speed network server

 Instant booting

 Faster and denser

 CONCLUSION
 We could say that the prospects of
nanotechnology are very bright.

 Nanotechnology will be an undeniable

force in near future

 Beginning &usage of NRAM will give rise to

instant ON computers
