A non-volatile memory system of a type having blocks of memory cells erased together and which are programmable from an erased state in units of a large number of pages per block. If the data of only a few pages of a block are to be updated, the updated pages are written into another block provided for this purpose. Updated pages from multiple blocks are programmed into this other block in an order that does not necessarily correspond with their original address offsets. The valid original and updated data are then combined at a later time, when doing so does not impact on the performance of the memory. If the data of a large number of pages of a block are to be updated, however, the updated pages are written into an unused erased block and the unchanged pages are also written to the same unused block. By handling the updating of a few pages differently, memory performance is improved when small updates are being made. The memory controller can dynamically create and operate these other blocks in response to usage by the host of the memory system.

Systems and methods for nonvolatile memory (“NVM”) performance throttling are disclosed. Performance of an NVM system may be throttled to achieve particular data retention requirements. In particular, because higher storage temperatures tend to reduce the amount of time that data may be reliably stored in an NVM system, performance of the NVM system may be throttled to reduce system temperatures and increase data retention time.

There has been a problem in conventional Si-type floating-gate type nonvolatile semiconductor memory devices that the charge retention characteristic is low due to insufficiently large electron affinity of Si, therefore improvement of the memory performances, such as scaling down of a memory cell and increasing operation speed, have been difficult to be achieved due to the essential problem. In order to solve the above problem, in the nonvolatile semiconductor memory device of the present invention, a material having large work function or large electron affinity or a material having a work function close to that of semiconductor substrate or of a control gate, is employed for a floating gate retaining charges. Further, an amorphous material having small electron affinity for an insulating matrix is used. Further, at a time of deposition of charge retention layer, the supply ratio of the nano-particle material and the insulating matrix material, such as the mixture ratio of materials of both phases in a target in a sputtering method, is adjusted. By these methods, the charge retention characteristic of the floating-gate type nonvolatile semiconductor memory device can be improved, and the above-mentioned problem of the nonvolatile semiconductor memory device can be solved.

A system and computer system for improving data integrity and memory performance using non-volatile media. A system includes a non-volatile mass storage unit, e.g., a flash memory device and/or a hard drive unit for instance. A memory device is used as a high speed data buffer and/or cache for the non-volatile storage unit. The memory device may be non-volatile, e.g., magnetic random access memory (MRAM) or volatile memory, e.g., synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM). By buffering and/or caching the write data, fewer accesses are required to the mass storage device thereby increasing system performance. Additionally, mechanical and electrical degradation of the mass storage device is reduced. Certain trigger events can be programmed to cause data from the memory device to be written to the mass storage device. In one embodiment, the write buffer contents are preserved across reset or power loss events. In one embodiment, the mass storage unit may be a data transport layer, e.g., Ethernet, USB, Bluetooth, etc.

The conventional flash memory device is fabricated by the MOS processing technology on a bulk substrate and has a similar configuration to an MOS device. While the conventional CMOS device has a superior scaling down characteristic, the scaling down characteristic of a flash memory device is poor due to the inability to reduce the thickness below 7 nm or 8 nm for the tunneling oxide film where the charges in the channel are tunneled into the floating electrode through the tunneling oxide. In order to resolve this problem, the present invention, instead of a SOI wafer, uses a cheaper bulk silicon wafer with lower defect density. A wall shape Fin active region where the channel and the source/drain are formed is connected to the bulk silicon substrate by which floating body effect and heat conduction problem are resolved. a flash memory device is fabricated by forming a tunneling oxide film on side surfaces of the Fin active and a floating (storage) electrode where the charges could be stored. The above structure has a superior scaling down characteristic and enhanced memory performance due to a double-gate flash memory device structure.

Moreover, the shape memory material has excellent shape memory performance, and the shape recovery rate and the shape fixation rate of the material can be controlled through adjusting the contents of both components.

A processor architecture and method are shown which involve a cache having heterogeneous cache sets. An address value of a data access request from a CPU is compared to all cache sets within the cache regardless of the type of data and the type of data access indicated by the CPU to create a unitary interface to the memory hierarchy of the architecture. Data is returned to the CPU from the cache set having the shortest line length of the cache sets containing the data corresponding to the address value of the data request. Modified data replaced in a cache set having a line length that is shorter than other cache sets is checked for matching data resident in the cache sets having longer lines and the matching data is replaced with the modified data. All the cache sets at the cache level of the memory hierarchy are accessed in parallel resulting in data being retrieved from the fastest memory source available, thereby improving memory performance. The unitary interface to a memory hierarchy having multiple cache sets maintains data coherency, simplifies code design and increases resilience to coding errors.

Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a resistive switching nonvolatile memory element that is formed in a resistive switching memory device that may be used in a memory array to store digital data. The memory element is generally constructed as a metal-insulator-metal stack. The resistive switching portion of the memory element includes a getter portion and/or a defect portion. In general, the getter portion is an area of the memory element that is used to help form, during the resistive switching memory device's fabrication process, a region of the resistive switching layer that has a greater number of vacancies or defects as compared to the remainder of resistive switching layer. The defect portion is an area of the memory element that has a greater number of vacancies or defects as compared to the remainder of the resistive switching layer, and is formed during the resistive switching memory device's fabrication process. The addition of the getter or defect portions in a formed memory device generally improves the reliability of the resistive switching memory device, improves the switching characteristics of the formed memory device and can eliminate or reduce the need for the time consuming additional post fabrication “burn-in” or pre-programming steps.

A method, system and computer program product implement memory performance management and enhanced memory reliability of a computer system accounting for system thermal conditions. When a primary memory temperature reaches an initial temperature threshold, reads are suspended to the primary memory and reads are provided to a mirrored memory in a mirrored memory pair, and writes are provided to both the primary memory and the mirrored memory.

When the primary memory temperature decreases to below the initial temperature threshold, coherency is recovered by writing a coherent copy from the mirrored memory to the primary memory.
