Millipede Memory

11Fundamental Digital Electronics

Millipede Memory: Concept

• Store bits as high density “divots” in a polymer film

• Use many nanoscopic cantilever tips in parallel to read and write

• Achieve stability of HDD and speed of DRAM…

Millipede Memory: Read

• Read: probe tip heated to 300 C, and moved over data point; measure temperature of the canitlever; if there is a divot, heat will leak from the tip quickly; if not. heat will leak slowly.

13Fundamental Digital Electronics

Millipede Memory: Write

• Write “1”: probe tip heated to 400 C (above glass transition) and pushed into the surface; tip pulled away after cooling.

• Write “0”: prove tip heated to 400 C and pushed into the surface; tip pulled away still hot, allowing surface tension to pull the surface flat.
