Our simulations are based on the non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) quantum transport formalism implemented within our in-house simulator called NESS (Nano-Electronics Simulation Software). The NEGF formalism allows us to capture the detailed physical picture of quantum mechanical effects such as electrostatic quantum confinement, resonant tunneling of electrons through barriers in such structures and negative differential resistance. Also, by using NESS capabilities, we have simulated RTDs with Random Discrete Dopants (RDDs) as a source of statistical variability in the device. Our work shows that there is a direct correlation between the positions and the numbers of RDDs and main device output characteristics such as resonant-peak voltage and current (V\u0000<inline-formula><tex-math>$_text{r}$</tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 and I\u0000<inline-formula><tex-math>$_text{r}$</tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000) variations.

Spintronics based magnetic memory devices can emulate synaptic behavior efficiently and are hailed as one of the most promising candidates for realizing compact and ultra-energy efficient neural network accelerators. Although ultra-dense magnetic memories with multi-bit capability (MLC) were proposed recently, their application in hybrid CMOS-non-volatile memory accelerators is limited due to their low dynamic range (memory window) and high cell currents (ON/OFF-state resistance in ∼kΩ). In this work, we propose a novel supercell to enable the use of MLC MRAMs for neuromorphic multiply-accumulate (MAC) accelerators. For proof-of-concept demonstration, we exploit an MLC MRAM based on c-MTJ for realizing a highly scalable 2-FinFET-1-MRAM supercell with large dynamic range, low supercell currents and high endurance. Furthermore, we perform a comprehensive design exploration of a time-domain MAC accelerator utilizing the proposed supercell. Our detailed analysis using the ASAP7 PDK from ARM for FinFETs and an experimentally calibrated compact model for c-MTJ-based MRAM indicates the possibility of realizing a significantly high energy-efficiency of 87.4 TOPS/W and a throughput of 2.5 TOPS for a 200×200 MAC operation with 4-bit precision.","PeriodicalId":446,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Nanotechnology","volume":"5 ","pages":"141-148"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10756528","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142761417","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}

The building block of such a system is a dipolar nanomagnet with sub-micrometer dimensions. These nanomagnets are arranged in specific designs usually in square or kagome shape and are coupled together by their magnetic interactions. With external magnetic fields, it is possible to create magnetic moments or monopoles that cause a frustration to the system. Because of the local interactions, those moments travel through the topology. The observation of such structures is a very challenging procedure, because of the extremely fast flipping process of the spins. This is why the researchers use mesoscopic systems with materials such as colloids or spheres of nanomagnets which are placed inside of islands in periodic lattices that generate frustration by design. The interactions between those nanomagnets are based on Coulomb forces and are usually modeled by Brownian equations. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective Cellular Automata (CA) model that can describe effectively the dynamics between nanomagnets in a square lattice structure. The manipulation of the initial positions of nanomagnets via an external magnetic field and the movement of magnetic moments from one site to another are capable to create Boolean logic. Using the CA model we propose the design of logic gates, computing structures such as half adders and rewritable memory elements.","PeriodicalId":446,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Nanotechnology","volume":"5 ","pages":"163-172"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10755125","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142825858","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}
