Abstract: A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) switch with liquid dielectric and a method of fabrication thereof are provided. In the context of the MEMS switch, a MEMS switch is provided including a cantilevered source switch, a first actuation gate disposed parallel to the cantilevered source switch, a first drain disposed parallel to a movable end of the cantilevered source switch, and a liquid dielectric disposed within a housing of the microelectromechanical system switch.

Abstract: Various examples are provided examples related to resistive content addressable memory (RCAM) based in-memory computation architectures. In one example, a system includes a content addressable memory (CAM) including an array of cells having a memristor based crossbar and an interconnection switch matrix having a gateless memristor array, which is coupled to an output of the CAM. In another example, a method, includes comparing activated bit values stored a key register with corresponding bit values in a row of a CAM, setting a tag bit value to indicate that the activated bit values match the corresponding bit values, and writing masked key bit values to corresponding bit locations in the row of the CAM based on the tag bit value.

Abstract: A method for readout of a gated memristor array, a memristor array readout circuit and method of fabrication thereof are provided. In the context of the method, the method includes selecting a row of a memristor array associated with a desired cell, measuring the value of the selected memristor row, and selecting a column of a memristor array associated with the desired cell. The selection of the column and selection of the row selects the desired cell. The method also includes measuring the value of the memristor selected row with the selected desired cell and determining the value of the desired cell based on the value of the selected memristor row and the value of the selected memristor row with the selected desired cell.

Abstract: Methods are provided for mitigating problems caused by sneak-paths current during memory cell access in gateless arrays. Example methods contemplated herein utilize adaptive-threshold readout techniques that utilize the locality and hierarchy properties of the computer memory system to address this sneak-paths problem. The method of the invention is a method for reading a target memory cell located at an intersection of a target row of a gateless array and a target column of the gateless array, the method comprising: —reading a value of the target memory cell; and—calculating an actual value of the target memory cell based on the read value of the memory cell and a component of the read value caused by sneak path current. Utilizing either an “initial bits” strategy or a “dummy bits” strategy in order to calculate the component of the read value caused by sneak path current, example embodiments significantly reduce the number of memory accesses pixel for an array readout. In addition, these strategies consume an order of magnitude less power in comparison to alternative state-of-the-art readout techniques.
