    This document discusses nano RAM, a new type of non-volatile random access memory that uses carbon nanotubes. Nano RAM has the potential to be faster, denser, and use less power than existing RAM technologies like DRAM. It works by positioning electrical charges on an array of crossed carbon nanotubes using an electric field. While still in development, nano RAM could eventually replace flash memory and other storage devices if challenges around cost, precision and competing technologies can be addressed. The prospects for carbon nanotube-based memory are promising for the future due to their potential speed, density and power efficiency advantages over current memory solutions.

    SEMINAR

    NANO RAM

    INTRODUCTION
    RAM (random access memory) is the main
    storage device in all digital systems.
    The speed of the system mainly depends on
    how speed and vast the RAM is.
    RAM also had under gone many changes.

    Types Of RAM

    Dynamic RAM
    Static RAM
    Fast Page Mode RAM
    Synchronous DRAM
    Double Data Rate RAM
    NVRAM Flash memory

    NANO TECHNOLOGY
    The study of the controlling of matter on an
    atomic and molecular scale.
    Idea was given by Richard Feynman in 1960.
    Norio Taniguchi gave a paper on Nanotechnology
    in 1974.
    Nanotechnology and nanoscience got started in
    the early 1980s with two major developments; the
    birth of cluster science and the invention of the
    scanning tunneling microscope (STM)

    CARBON NANOTUBES
    Discovered in 1991 by Sumio Iijima of NEC.
    Allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical
    nanostructure.
    Have extraordinary strength and are great
    thermal conductors.
    carbon nanotube structure looks like sheets of
    graphite that have been rolled up to form small
    tubes

    CARBON NANO TUBES

    Classification of CNTs
    SINGLE WALLED NT
    Diameter of close to 1nm.
    Harder to make than MWNT

    MULTI WALLED NT
    concentric cylindrical graphite tubes.
    their structures are less well understood than
    SWNT

    BENEFITS OF CNT

    Strength & Elasticity


    Electrical & Magnetic
    Optical
    Very small in size
    Less Power consumption

    WHY NANO RAM?

    Product of Nanotechnology
    Non volatile memory
    Faster and denser
    Large data storage
    It uses only one tenth of the power used by existing
    RAM or flash memory to store information.
    NRAM is compatible with all existing hardware
    devices such as the PC, digital camera, mp3 players
    etc

    NANO RAM
    Technology is based on a well-known effect in
    carbon nanotubes where crossed nanotubes on a
    flat surface can either be touching or slightly
    separated in the vertical direction due to Van der
    Waal's interactions.
    Storage in NRAM is done by positioning of
    charges.
    The data is retained until overwritten or resetted.
    An electric field moves over array of nanotubes.

    NANO TUBE CONNECTION

    ADVANTAGES

    High speed similar to DRAM/SRAM


    High density similar to DRAM
    Unlimited lifetime
    Better than flash memory because low power
    required for read & write operation.
    NRAM is highly resistant to environmental
    forces (heat, cold and magnetism).

    DISADVANTAGES

    Relatively high cost.


    Requirement of high precision.
    Still in research phase.
    Nantero seems to lag behind MRAM
    developers Motorola and IBM.
    Barriers to market : Nantero is developing an
    alternate technology in a field that already
    offers multiple memory options.

    APPLICATIONS OF NRAM

    Flash memories into cell phones and cameras.


    High speed network server.
    Instant booting.
    Faster and denser memory storages.

    FUTURE SCOPE
    The prospects of nanotechnology are very bright.
    It will be an undeniable force in near future.
    At present, Nantero is trying to make NanoRAM a commercial product.
    In future, these carbon nanotube technology
    memory devices can replace all memory storage
    devices which are currently booming in market
    today.
