In the last decade, there have been major changes in the families of ferroelectric materials available for integration with CMOS electronics. This talk will discuss the possibility of exploiting the 3rd dimension in microelectronics for functions beyond interconnect optimization, enabling 3D non-von Neumann computer architectures exploiting ferroelectrics for local memory, logic in memory, digital/analog computation, and neuromorphic/reconfigurable functionality. This approach circumvents the end of Moore’s law in 2D scaling, while simultaneously overcoming the “von Neumann bottleneck” in moving instructions and data between separate logic and memory circuits. The talk will cover circuit and architectural features leveraging the non-volatile properties of ferro-electric FETs for hardware obfuscation, accelerator designs and in-memory compute structures.
Biography: Vijaykrishnan Narayanan is the Robert Noll Chair of Computer Science and Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University.
