ON THE COVER: Emerging Solid-State Memory Technologies. (foreground) A single 4 Mbit magnetoresistive random-access memory (MRAM) chip. Dimensions: approximately 4.5 mm « 6.3 mm. (background) A lower-magnification view of several 4 Mb chips, along with various test structures. Both optical photomicrographs were taken using differential interference contrast techniques.
