ABSTRACT
Ferromagnetic and ferroelectric materials-based flexible memories are discussed. These memories on rigid substrates have been well-studied and already adopted by the industry. However, their flexible versions lag far behind, especially in terms of energy consumption and performance. The key parameters that control these characteristics and the effect of substrate bending on the memory properties are discussed in detail. Different routes to improve these memories, particularly new materials integration techniques and device concepts are reported. Overall, the chapter provides an in-depth overview of what has been done so far and what could be the future directions in the field of flexible ferroic memories.
