The MRS Symposium Proceeding series is an internationally recognised reference suitable for researchers and practitioners.

This third book in a series on nonvolatile memories builds on fundamental materials properties, materials integration, demonstration, and industrial devices gathered in those previous. A strong and increasing interest in nonvolatile memories, both domestic and international, indicates the worldwide importance of these materials and memory devices. The book features research on advanced flash memories, including nanoparticle floating gate FETs, MRAM, FeRAM, ReRAM and phase change RAMs, as well as memories using polymer materials. Papers from a joint session with Symposium FF, Novel Materials and Devices for Spintronics, are also included.

Symposium M, 'Materials and Technology for Nonvolatile Memories', was held November 30-December 5 at the 2014 MRS Fall Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts, which was a follow up of previous symposia on nonvolatile memories. Main research areas featured in Symposium M were advanced Flash memories, organic memories, resistive switching memories (ReRAM), magnetoresistive random access memories (MRAM), ferroelectric random access memories (FeRAM), phase-change memories, as well as emerging materials and technologies for nonvolatile memories. In addition, a highly successful one-day tutorial session, 'Emerging Materials and Devices for Nonvolatile Memories', was conducted and included tutorials on ReRAM, polymer/organic materials, MRAM, and Flash memories. This symposium proceedings volume represents the recent advances and related material issues on various kinds of nonvolatile memory technologies. The papers in this volume are categorized according to each type of memory technology and are not in the order of the symposium presentations.
