Paper Title: Scaling and Cost Forecast for DRAM, NAND, and Emerging Memories

Paper Abstract: We show the status of all Emerging Memory technologies in bit density and cost compared to DRAM, NAND and show forecasts through 2027 for all memory technologies. DRAM will see renewed market growth and scaling progress. NAND continues to scale with 3D structures and we show impact and timeline for wafer bonding options. New memories like PCM, ReRAM, MRAM, FERAM all have markets and future scaling projections, but we will show quantitatively that nothing will replace or significantly affect NAND and DRAM markets in next 5-10 years. In summary, Both NAND and DRAM will have significant cost reduction and bit density growth for the next 5+ years with no limit and the emerging memories will occupy multiple new applications. Detailed quantitative forecasts for all technologies will be presented
