EU FP6 Projects on Memory Technologies
The primary objective is the research and development of the science and technology of small, low-power yet utra-high capacity archival probe-storage system that will support storage densities beyond 10Tbit/sq.in or ultra-high capacities of 20TByte in CD-sized area. Probe-storage system is based on the Atomic Force Microscope principle: A nanometricprobe interacts with the surface of a media to write and read information bits.
Abstract
The aim of ProTeM is to develop probe stoage micro-nano techniques and systems for ultra high capacity, low power, small form-factor memories with a particular focus on archival and back-up applications and the vision is to achieve the ultra-high storage densities (1 to 10Tbit/sq.in.), ultra high capacities (20 TBytes in CD-sized area), media and system lifetimes and data rates suitable for archival and backup storage.
