Two main research paths are identified and discussed. Different "evolutionary paths" based on new materials and new transistor structures are investigated to extend classical floating gate technology to the 32 nm node. "Disruptive paths" are also covered, addressing 22 nm and smaller IC generations. Finally, the main factors at the origin of these phenomena are identified and analyzed, providing pointers on future research activities and developme 410 0$aISTE 606 $aSemiconductor storage devices 606 $aFlash memories (Computers) 615 0$aSemiconductor storage devices. 615 0$aFlash memories (Computers) 676 $a621.381 676 $a621.39/732 700 $aDe Salvo$b Barbara$01634216 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910829941203321 996 $aSilicon non-volatile memories$93974335 997 $aUNINA
