    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of implementing a neural network using in-memory mathematical operations performed by pipelined SRAM architecture (PISA) circuitry disposed in on-chip processor memory circuitry. A high-level compiler may be provided to compile data representative of a multi-layer neural network model and one or more neural network data inputs from a first high-level programming language to an intermediate domain-specific language (DSL). A low-level compiler may be provided to compile the representative data from the intermediate DSL to multiple instruction sets in accordance with an instruction set architecture (ISA), such that each of the multiple instruction sets corresponds to a single respective layer of the multi-layer neural network model. Each of the multiple instruction sets may be assigned to a respective SRAM array of the PISA circuitry for in-memory execution. Thus, the systems and methods described herein beneficially leverage the on-chip processor memory circuitry to perform a relatively large number of in-memory vector/tensor calculations in furtherance of neural network processing without burdening the processor circuitry.

    摘要: Tunneling Field Effect Transistors (TFETs) are promising devices in that they promise significant performance increase and energy consumption decrease due to a steeper subthreshold slope (for example, smaller sub-threshold swing). In various embodiments, vertical fin-based TFETs can be fabricated in trenches, for example, silicon trenches. In another embodiment, vertical TFETs can be used on different material systems acting as a substrate and/or trenches (for example, Si, Ge, III-V semiconductors, GaN, and the like). In one embodiment, the tunneling direction in the channel of the vertical TFET can be perpendicular to the Si substrates. In one embodiment, this can be different than the tunneling direction in the channel of lateral TFETs.

    摘要: Techniques and mechanisms to provide electrical insulation between a gate and a channel region of a non-planar circuit device. In an embodiment, the gate structure, and insulation spacers at opposite respective sides of the gate structure, each extend over a semiconductor fin structure. In a region between the insulation spacers, a first dielectric layer extends conformally over the fin, and a second dielectric layer adjoins and extends conformally over the first dielectric layer. A third dielectric layer, adjoining the second dielectric layer and the insulation spacers, extends under the gate structure. Of the first, second and third dielectric layers, the third dielectric layer is conformal to respective sidewalls of the insulation spacers. In another embodiment, the second dielectric layer is of dielectric constant which is greater than that of the first dielectric layer, and equal to or less than that of the third dielectric layer.
