[3D] Nano-Scale Ferroelectric Devices for Memory Applications

A description is presented of present efforts to make thin-films for ferroelectric memory devices into truly three-dimensional objects, such as nano-tubes, nano-rods, and nano-ribbons. These may have important applications for DRAM trenched capacitors. A summary of state-of-the-art magnetic RAM (MRAM) and ferroelectric FRAM devices is included.
