ELECTRONIC MEMORY DEVICES

Introduced: January 2023

Classification Context

Section:
ELECTRICITY
Class:
SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES; ELECTRIC SOLID-STATE DEVICES NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR
Subclass:
ELECTRONIC MEMORY DEVICES

Description

H10B covers semiconductor-based memory devices and solid-state storage technologies that do not fall within other specific H10 classifications. This includes volatile memory types such as RAM variants, as well as non-volatile memory technologies like flash memory, EEPROM, and other solid-state storage media used for data retention and retrieval. The classification encompasses the structural design, operational principles, and technical characteristics of these electronic memory devices at the component level. Adjacent classes address more specialized memory architectures or memory-related circuit functions handled separately within the H10 hierarchy.

Scope Notes

Glossary: volatile memory volatile memories memory requiring power supply to maintain the stored information: it loses any written data when the system is turned off. non-volatile memory non-volatile memories memory not requiring power supply to maintain the stored information: it retains the written data even when the system is turned off. ferroelectric memory capacitor ferroelectric memory capacitors capacitor with ferroelectric memory properties ferroelectric memory transistor ferroelectric memory transistors transistor with ferroelectric memory properties embedded in a layer of the gate electrodes, e.g. in a MFS or MFMIS layer
