The improved model on BOX damage induced by TID considering this set of Not and its saturation effect is proposed and adopted in accurate simulated analysis to predict the post-irradiation device behavior.

In this work, we propose implementing the surface code QEC circuitry with compute-in-memory (CIM) based recurrent neural network accelerator at 4K. To serve this purpose, we develop Cryo-NeuroSim, a device-to-system modeling framework that calibrate the transistor and interconnect parameters with experimental data at cryogenic temperature.
