    摘要: An integrated circuit and method for forming an integrated circuit. There are at least three field-effect transistors with at least two of the field-effect transistors having the same electrically insulating material which is ferroelectric when unstrained or is capable of being ferroelectric when strain is induced. It is optional for the third field-effect transistor to have an electrically insulating material which is ferroelectric when unstrained or is capable of being ferroelectric when strain is induced. The at least three field-effect transistors are strained to varying amounts so that each of the three field-effect transistors has a threshold voltage, Vt, which is different from the Vt of the two other field-effect transistors.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to forming a ternary compound using a modified atomic layer deposition (ALD) process. In a non-limiting embodiment of the invention, a first precursor and a second precursor are selected. The first precursor includes a first metal and a first ligand. The second precursor includes a second metal and a second ligand. The second ligand is selected based on the first ligand to target a second metal uptake. A substrate is exposed to the first precursor during a first pulse of an ALD cycle and the substrate is exposed to the second precursor during a second pulse of the ALD cycle, the second pulse occurring after the first pulse. The substrate is exposed to a third precursor (e.g., an oxidant) during a third pulse of the ALD cycle. The ternary compound can include a ternary oxide film.

    摘要: A system, method and computer program product for assigning deep neural network (DNN) weight matrices to a Compute-in-Memory (CiM) accelerator system, and particularly, efficient allocation strategies for assigning DNN model weight-layers to two-dimensional (2D) tiers of three-dimensional (3D) crossbar array tiles. Such efficient allocation strategies for assigning DNN model weight-layers to tiers and tiles of a CiM accelerator are optimized to minimize contention, latency and dead-time, and to maximize accelerator throughput. In one scenario, efficient allocation strategies include assigning DNN weight matrices to the 2D tiers of a 3D crossbar array tile to maximize throughput and minimize completion latency for a finite-batch-size example of an incoming workflow. In a further scenario, efficient allocation strategies assign DNN weight matrices to the 2D tiers of a 3D crossbar array tile to minimize dead-time-latency-before-next-batch-member-can-be-input in an infinite-batch-size or a continuous workflow scenario.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to forming a sub-stoichiometric metal-oxide film using a modified atomic layer deposition (ALD) process. In a non-limiting embodiment of the invention, a first precursor and a second precursor are selected. The first precursor can include a metal and a first ligand. The second precursor can include the same metal and a second ligand. A substrate can be exposed to the first precursor during a first pulse of an ALD cycle. The substrate can be exposed to the second precursor during a second pulse of the ALD cycle. The second pulse can occur directly after the first pulse without an intervening thermal oxidant. The substrate can be exposed to the thermal oxidant during a third pulse of the ALD cycle.
