- Slide 3
- 1. Magnetic Hard drives relies on the mechanical rotation of a
disk 2. Energy consuming 3. Slow
- Slide 4
- Solve the problem with HDD. But 1. 100 times faster. 2. But
Costly. 3. lose their data when the computer powers down or
crashes
- Slide 5
- 1. Scaling devices in two dimension getting Saturated. 2. One
day, it will not work any further. 3. We need to find alternative
way.
- Slide 6
- * Why it is called Racetrack? * Racetrack because we are going
to have magnetic nanowires that will contain magnetic domain like
little race cars. * We are going to move the race cars (i.e. the
magnetic domains) up and down which stand above a silicon
wafer
- Slide 7
- * We need to put the information bit i.e. 0,1 in to the
nanowire. * The magnetic domain can be Spin Up or Spin Down. * Lets
say, Up represents 0 and Down presented 1.
- Slide 8
- Slide 9
- * By flowing the current of spin-polarized electrons i.e. spin
angular moments, we can manipulate the magnetic domain in a
racetrack. * That is how we are going to shift information in the
nanowires using nanosecond long pulses of spin-polarized
currents.
- Slide 10
- Slide 11
- * The currents will keep arise into a torque in each of the
domain walls and cause them to move all in same direction. * That
how we have produced a moving three dimensional memory without any
energy loss.
- Slide 12
- * We bring the information down in the surface of Silicon
wafer, where we have all means of deleting and writing information
into the nanowires. * After writing, we raise the information in
the top (away from the Si wafer surface)
- Slide 13
- Slide 14
- * Each racetrack, having single reading and writing devices,
gives us the opportunity to store multiple bits of information *
With no moving part, * No moving atoms & * No moving cost.
- Slide 15
- * If the Racetrack Memory is successful, then it is going to
replace the diskdrives and some of the conventional memory ( in
fact most of them). * We can build a computer that are more
compact, consume much less energy and will be slightly useful than
our current computer. * This can change not only the memory
industry but bring a revolution to computation industry
