IBM has made germanium-antimony-tellurium phase change memory. The advantage of the new material, according to the scientists, is that it can be used to create switches over 500 times faster than today’s flash chips. Moreover, the prototype switch developed by the scientists is just 3 nanometers high by 20 nanometers wide, offering the promise that the technology can be shrunk to smaller dimensions than could be attained by flash manufacturers.
