Existing compression techniques often neglect approximation errors incurred during training. This work proposes approximation-aware-training, in which group of weights are approximated using a differential approximation function, resulting in a new weight matrix composed of approximation function's coefficients (AFC). The network is trained using backpropagation to minimize the loss function with respect to AFC matrix with linear and quadratic approximation functions preserving accuracy at high compression rates. This work extends to implement an compute-in-memory architecture for inference operations of approximate neural networks. This architecture includes a mapping algorithm that modulates inputs and map AFC to crossbar arrays directly, eliminating the need to predict approximated weights for evaluating output. This reduces the number of crossbars, lowering area and energy consumption. Integrating magnetic random-access memory-based devices further enhances performance by reducing latency and energy consumption. Simulation results on approximated LeNet-5, VGG8, AlexNet, and ResNet18 models trained on the CIFAR-100 dataset showed reductions of 54%, 30%, 67%, and 20% in the total number of crossbars, respectively, resulting in improved area efficiency. In the ResNet18 architecture, latency and energy consumption decreased by 95% and 93.3% with spin-orbit torque (SOT) based crossbars compared to RRAM-based architectures.","PeriodicalId":446,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Nanotechnology","volume":"6 ","pages":"16-26"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10819260","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142993286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have high electrical conductivity, and more importantly, may be grown into architectures with high surface area. However, this is not easy to achieve in practice. CNT electrodes are fabricated by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), after a metal catalyst layer is coated on a current collector. In this work, the control of the metal catalyst layer, by varying the dip-coating time and CVD process parameters, is shown to be crucial to pore morphology and consequent SC performance. The dip-coating time is adjusted to obtain thin and uniform coating. Further, optimum reduction of the nickel layer with hydrogen is required to produce thin CNTs with adequate inter-tube separation that facilitate ion accessibility within the pores. The height of the CNT forest is also optimized to prevent decrease in specific capacitance due to reduced accessibility. Proper optimization of the process parameters results in a pore morphology conductive to ion diffusion, and simultaneous improvement in energy and power density.","PeriodicalId":449,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology","volume":"24 ","pages":"48-53"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142940840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fluorine doping effectively reduces oxygen vacancies in the dielectric layer, thus reducing leakage current and stabilizing charge in the dielectric layer. Moreover, fluorine doping can passivate the dangling bonds at the interface and increase the ability of trapping carriers in the trap layer. The FEG stack comprises a tunnel oxide layer (TL), a charge trap layer (CTL), and a ferroelectric layer (FE). Four types of devices were fabricated: undoped, doping in TL, doping in CTL, and doping in both TL and CTL, to investigate the impact of fluorine doping on the FEG gate stack. Devices doping in TL and CTL demonstrated superior performance, achieving the highest V\u0000<sub>th</sub>\u0000 of 5.4 V with a retention time of 70.42% after 10, 000 seconds. The off-state and gate leakage tests revealed impressive breakdown voltages of 735 V and 24.55 V, respectively. Furthermore, the device exhibited a high operation voltage of 14.3 V for a 10-year lifetime prediction, enabling a wide operating range.","PeriodicalId":449,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology","volume":"24 ","pages":"42-47"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142938491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
