The ability to process data is foundational to our smart, connected world. Microprocessors, in turn, rely on memory chips to store the data they need while working. One of the most popular types of memory is dynamic random access memory (DRAM), and it can be found in many of our favorite electronic devices. Over the years, the amount of memory in mobile phones has increased from 128 MB to 4 GB or even 6 GB today.
