"The entry barrier is very high," Tsai said.

That's why he hopes RRAM can find an entry into electronics devices in the embedded chip market.

It's easier for memory chips to compete in the embedded market, where chip makers combine the functions of several chips onto one, called an SoC (System on chip), because there is no reason for companies to depend only on DRAM.
