The whole electronic world is just mambo-jumbo for uninitiated. The basics of semiconductor is a transistor: EBC emitter base and collector. If you put a voltage difference on the base the variable gonna show up between the emitter and collector
You can use that as a switch to generate 1 or 0, if you put a capacitor in the b circuit you have a " memory" it will just as long as the capacitance hold its capacitance (Very simplistic explanation of Dram) although those transistors are field effect(fet) transistors and are extremely fast to change from conducting to non conducting- means 0 to1. Well the filamentary Reram uses different idea and physics: based on materials used between two metal plates and electricity passed between the two metal plates changes the resistance in that substrate. Here we have the filamentary Re Ram memorised by its cell resistance
Easy peasy... The underlying problem with that it uses a LOT of power to excite 1 cell and if you overdose it with power will fail..or there is a high possibility(so there are serious limitations).Using different materials and manufacturing technics (imec-4DS) you can put a small charge of electricity on those metal plates with same effect as to pass serious electric current trough it:
So 4DS and the final successful iterations of the 300mm chips whitch can be replicated on any advanced production facility all around the world. What we are waiting 4 is the MB chip from imec to test the hell out of it for all the requirements of the buyers and that moment my friend is just around the corner.Nothing can stop this Beast to be disruptive as any technology ever....well i already celebrated tree times the birth of a man 2020 years ago( scotch, good red, stone and wood) and i wish you a Merry Christmas and a bloody good New Year....Kopasz
