Semiconductor memory serves as the primary memory component in microcomputer-based systems, responsible for storing programs and data. This digital electronic semiconductor system is crucial for computer memory and other forms of digital data storage. Typically, semiconductor memory refers to MOS (metal-oxide-semiconductor) memory, where data is stored in the MOS memory cell of a silicon integrated circuit memory chip.

The major types of semiconductor memory include SRAM, MRAM, DRAM, flash ROM, and others. SRAM, or Static Random-Access Memory, is a type of semiconductor device that allows for faster read and write times compared to DRAM, with a significantly shorter cycle time (usually 10 ns against 60 ns for DRAM) because it doesn't require waiting between accesses. Key technologies involved in semiconductor memory include RAM (Random-Access Memory) and ROM (Read-Only Memory). Semiconductor memory finds applications in various sectors, including consumer electronics, IT and telecommunications, automotive, industrial, aerospace and defense, medical, and others.
