Impediments Error tolerant architectures must be developed and applied to these quantum well multivalue structures in order to achieve acceptable error rates. Device structures must be made reliably and repeatably to enable manufacturability. The application of ferroelectric technology to memory can provide high density low cost NV storage for portable equipment. Impact Enable both a volumentric and energy reduction for portable computing systems. A stable, manufacturable process is still years away.
Circuit designs using ferroelectric processes are still in development.
To meet density demands for portable equipment, complete radio systems and subsystems need to be integrated at frequencies in the 900 to 2500 MHz region. To use high isolation mixed-mode processing to design high frequency integrated portable radio systems. Impact Enable both a volumetric and energy reduction for portable computing systems. Impediments Design and simulations tools capable of efficiently handling complete mixed signal systems on a single chip must be realized. IC processes capable of high functional isolation and fast performance are needed to integrate complete systems.
