    摘要: A circuit for performing neural network computations for a neural network is described. The circuit includes plurality of neural network layers each including a crossbar arrays. The plurality of crossbar arrays are formed in a common substrate in a stacked configuration. Each crossbar array includes a set of crosspoint devices. A respective electrical property of each of the crosspoint devices is adjustable to represent a weight value that is stored for each respective crosspoint device. A processing unit is configured to adjust the respective electrical properties of each of the crosspoint devices by pre-loading each of the crosspoint devices with a tuning signal. A value of the turning signal for each crosspoint device is a function of the weight value represented by each respective crosspoint device.

    摘要: Embedded air gap transmission lines and methods of fabrication are provided. An apparatus having an air gap transmission line can include a first conductive plane, a core dielectric layer having a bottom surface in contact with the first conductive plane, a conductor having a bottom surface in contact with a top surface of the core dielectric layer, and a second conductive plane positioned over, and spaced apart from, a top surface of the conductor such that a gap separates the conductor from the second conductive plane. The top surface of the conductor is separated from the bottom surface of the second conductive plane by a first distance measured along an axis normal to the first conductive plane, and the bottom surface of the conductor is separated from the first conductive plane by a second distance greater than the first distance measured along the axis.
