  • Researchers from Fudan University developed a picosecond-level flash memory device with a program speed of 400 picoseconds.
  • The device can operate 25 billion times per second, making it the fastest semiconductor charge storage device known.
  • This breakthrough is significant for ultra-fast operations in large AI models.
  • The device's speed is compared to working 1 billion times in the blink of an eye, far surpassing previous records.
  • The research was published in the journal Nature under the name PoX.
  • The breakthrough addresses the speed limit in information storage, crucial for AI and integrated circuits.
  • Non-volatile storage technology is key for ultra-low power consumption in AI computing.
  • The team used innovative physics mechanisms, combining two-dimensional Dirac band structure and ballistic transport characteristics.
  • The super-injection mechanism pushed non-volatile memory speed to its theoretical limit.
  • This technology could reshape the global storage landscape and support China's leadership in relevant fields.
