As electronic devices become smaller and more sophisticated, the search for compact nonvolatile memory becomes increasingly important. However, conventional silicon technologies, such as complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) and floating gate flash memory, are fast reaching their scaling limit. Further miniaturization could seriously affect their performance and stability.
