Exploiting unconventional physical properties, several nanodevices showed an alternative to Moore’s Law by the increase of their functionality rather than the pure scaling. Innovative device behaviors transduce to new circuit/architecture opportunities.
Here, we will introduce Three-Independent-Gate Field Effect Transistors (TIGFETs), a novel class of computation devices, that can, depending on the bias applied to its gate, achieve different modes of operations usually not achievable in a single device. The demonstrated modes of operations are (i) the dynamic reconfiguration of the device polarity; (ii) the dynamic control of the threshold voltage; and (iii) the dynamic control of the subthreshold slope beyond the thermal limit (with a measured steep slope of 6mV/dec over 5 decades of current). I will show both a silicon-based process route and a 2D approach based on WSe2 crystals. Such properties are highly desirable for logic computation. For instance, controllable-polarity devices are logical bi-conditional on both gate values and enable a compact realization of XOR-based logic functions, which are not implementable in CMOS in a compact form. Hyper regular architectures and new EDA tools are then needed to leverage the intrinsic properties of controllable-polarity devices from an application perspective.
In this talk, I will cover the different aspects of the design with TIG devices ranging from device fabrication to logic synthesis tools, emphasizing on the importance for interdisciplinary teams in the field of emerging technologies.

Data-hungry applications demand increasing capacity and computational performance under low-power constraints. We face physical limits in further scaling down current silicon transistors. Contemporary architectures do not support faster communication between system components. There is hope in Heterogeneous Integration (HI): innovative three dimensional arrangements of individual chips based on starkly different technologies, silicon and non-silicon devices made of emerging materials, all integrated together into high-level systems.
Assimilating diverse technologies, architectures, and materials has enormous potential — but we face enormous implementation and design challenges. New, more efficient EDA tools based on new paradigms must take full advantage of these technologies. We will explore 3D heterogeneous ICs, their benefits and challenges, and their future potential.

In the era of ‘big data’ and ‘Internet of Things’, the traditional computing architecture based on CMOS hardware has become increasingly inefficient to support Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), which necessitates some emerging technologies, such as memristive technology. Memristive technology was initially developed for the next-generation nonvolatile memories, for which there are still some remaining challenges to be overcome before a large-scale commercialization is feasible. On the other hand, computing applications are less constrained by such challenges and represent low-hanging fruits for memristor applications. I will first introduce the development status of memristive devices, as well as the challenges and possible solutions for those devices used for computing applications. I will then discuss a few experimental implementations of such applications with different levels of bio-inspiration.

Abstract: Spiking neural network hardware offers a high performance, power-efficient and robust platform for the processing of complex data. Many of these systems require supervised learning, which poses a challenge when using gradient-based algorithms due to the discontinuous properties of SNNs. Memristor based hardware can offer gains in portability, power reduction, and throughput efficiency when compared to pure CMOS. This paper proposes a memristor-based spiking Liquid State Machine. The inherent dynamics of the LSM permit the use of supervised learning without backpropagation for weight updates. To carry out the design space evaluation of the LSM for optimal hardware performance, several temporal signal classification tasks are performed. It is found that the binary neuron activations in the output layer improve testing accuracy by 3.7% and 5% for classification, while reducing training time. A power and energy analysis of the proposed hardware is presented, resulting in an approximately 50% reduction in power consumption and cycle energy.
