Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of an integrated circuit structure (e.g., a processing chip), which includes an array of integrated pixel and memory cells configured for deep in-sensor, in-memory computing (e.g., of neural networks). Each cell incorporates a memory structure (e.g., DRAM structure or a ROM structure) with a storage node, which stores a first data value (e.g., a binary weight value), and a sensor connected to a sense node, which outputs a second data value (e.g., an analog input value). Each cell is selectively operable in a functional computing mode during which the voltage level on a bit line is adjusted as a function of both the first data value and the second data value. Each cell is further selectively operable in a storage node read mode. Furthermore, depending upon the type of memory structure (e.g., a DRAM structure), each cell is selectively operable in a storage node write mode.

Abstract: An image sensor includes an array of optically switchable magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) arranged in columns and rows. The image sensor has first lines of transparent conductive material and second lines of conductive material. Each first line is in contact with the free layers of the MTJs in a corresponding row. Each second line is electrically connected to the fixed layers MTJs in a corresponding column. The first lines are concurrently exposable to radiation. The first and second lines are selectively biasable. In a global reset operation, biasing conditions are such that all MTJs are switched to an anti-parallel state. In a global sense operation, biasing conditions are such that, depending upon the intensity of radiation received at those portions of the first lines in contact with MTJs, the MTJs may switch to a parallel state. In selective read operations, biasing conditions are such that stored data values in the MTJs can be read.
