Abstract: A computing cell and method for performing a digital XNOR of an input signal and weights are described. The computing cell includes at least one pair of FE-FETs and a plurality of selection transistors. The pair(s) of FE-FETs are coupled with a plurality of input lines and store the weight. Each pair of FE-FETs includes a first FE-FET that receives the input signal and stores a first weight and a second FE-FET that receives the input signal complement and stores a second weight. The selection transistors are coupled with the pair of FE-FETs.

Abstract: A hardware device and method for performing a multiply-accumulate operation are described. The device includes inputs lines, weight cells and output lines. The input lines receive input signals, each of which is has a magnitude and a phase and can represent a complex value. The weight cells couple the input lines with the output lines. Each of the weight cells has an electrical admittance corresponding to a weight. The electrical admittance is programmable and capable of being complex valued. The input lines, the weight cells and the output lines form a crossbar array. Each of the output lines provides an output signal. The output signal for an output line is a sum of an input signal for each of the input lines connected to the output line multiplied by the electrical admittance of each of the weight cells connecting the input lines to the output line.

Abstract: A memory device and method for providing the memory device are described. The memory device includes word lines, a first plurality of bit lines, a second plurality of bit lines and selectorless memory cells. Each selectorless memory cell is coupled with a word line, a first bit line of the first plurality of bit lines and a second bit line of the second plurality of bit lines. The selectorless memory cell includes first and second magnetic junctions. The first and second magnetic junctions are each programmable using a spin-orbit interaction torque. The word line is coupled between the first and second magnetic junctions. The first and second bit lines are coupled with the first and second magnetic junctions, respectively. The selectorless memory cell is selected for a write operation based on voltages in the word line, the first bit line and the second bit line.

Abstract: A neuromorphic architecture for providing variable precision in a neural network, through programming. Logical pre-synaptic neurons are formed as configurable sets of physical pre-synaptic artificial neurons, logical post-synaptic neurons are formed as configurable sets of physical post-synaptic artificial neurons, and the logical pre-synaptic neurons are connected to the logical post-synaptic neurons by logical synapses each including a set of physical artificial synapses. The precision of the weights of the logical synapses may be varied by varying the number of physical pre-synaptic artificial neurons in each of the logical pre-synaptic neurons, and/or by varying the number of physical post-synaptic artificial neurons in each of the logical post-synaptic neurons.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide for fabricating a biaxially strained nanosheet. Aspects of the exemplary embodiments include: growing an epitaxial crystalline initial superlattice having one or more periods, each of the periods comprising at least three layers, an active material layer, a first sacrificial material layer and a second sacrificial material layer, the first and second sacrificial material layers having different material properties; in each of the one or more periods, placing each of the active material layers between the first and second sacrificial material layers, wherein lattice constants of the first and second sacrificial material layers are different than the active material layer and impose biaxial stress in the active material layer; selectively etching away all of the first sacrificial material layers thereby exposing one surface of the active material for additional processing, while the biaxial strain in the active material layers is maintained by the second sacrificial material layers; and selectively etching away all of the second sacrificial material layers thereby exposing a second surface of the active material layers for additional processing.
