摘要: An approach for representing both positive and negative weights in neuromorphic computing is disclosed. The approach leverages a double gate FeFET (ferroelectric field effect transistor) device. The device leverages a double-gate FeFET with four terminals (two separate gates and source and drain) and ferroelectric gate dielectric. The device may have a junction-less channel. A synaptic weight is programmed by biasing one of the two gates. The store weight is sensed via a current flow from source to drain. A pre-defined bias is applied to the other gate during the sensing, such that a reference current is subtracted from the drain current. The net current for sensing is current from the synaptic devices subtracted by the pre-defined reference current.

摘要: A method of forming a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) device is provided. The method includes forming a separate gate structure on each of a pair of vertical fins, wherein the gate structures include a gate dielectric layer and a gate metal layer, and forming a protective liner layer on the gate structures. The method further includes heat treating the pair of gate structures, and replacing the protective liner layer with an encapsulation layer. The method further includes exposing a portion of the gate dielectric layer by recessing the encapsulation layer. The method further includes forming a top source/drain on the top surface of one of the pair of vertical fins, and subjecting the exposed portion of the gate dielectric layer to a second heat treatment conducted in an oxidizing atmosphere.

摘要: In an approach for forming a nonvolatile tunable capacitor device, a first electrode layer is formed distally opposed from a second electrode layer, the first electrode layer configured to make a first electrical connection and the second electrode layer configured to make a second electrical connection. A dielectric layer is posited between the first electrode layer and adjacent to the second electrode layer. A phase change material (PCM) layer is posited between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer adjacent to the dielectric layer. An energizing component is provided to heat the PCM layer to change a phase of the PCM layer. The energizing component may include a heating element or electrical probe in direct contact with the PCM layer, that when energized is configured to apply heat to the PCM layer. The phase of the PCM layer is changeable between an amorphous phase and a crystalline phase.

摘要: An approach to creating a tamper-resistant field programmable gate array (FPGA) and remotely reprogramming the tamper-resistant FPGA. In one aspect, determining if an encryption key is stored in a physical unclonable function (PUF) of the FPGA. Further, responsive to the encryption key not being stored in a PUF, writing an encryption key in tamper resistant memory associated with a back end of the line (BEOL) of the FPGA. In another aspect, writing a program key and a look-up table (LUT) in the tamper resistant memory.
