9. OUM(Ovonic Unified Memory) V. OUM advantages OUM uses a reversible structural phase-change scaled device has been demonstrated Cost/Bit Reduction Small active storage medium Small cell size – small die size Simple manufacturing process – low step count Simple planar device structure Low voltage – single supply Reduced assembly and test costs Highly Scalable Performance improves with scaling Only lithography limited Low voltage operation Multi-state demonstrated
