The simulated cell eliminates subthreshold leakage and write disturb from parasitic capacitance present in conventional 2T and 3T gain cells, significantly improving retention.

These structures can generate picosecond spikes in response to dc and ac electric currents, thereby mimicking the reaction of biological neurons to an external stimulus. However, conventional AFM neurons have only one input, which significantly limits their applications. In this article, we propose an approach to the implementation of a programmable artificial neuron (P-neuron) based on conventional AFM neurons in the form of a simple, two-layer neural network. Each neuron in the first layer has an independent input, and all of their outputs are connected to a single main neuron in the second layer. This configuration allows the sensitivity of system to individual input signals to be changed independently and in real time by regulating the dc current applied to the first-layer neurons, which makes it possible to program the entire P-neuron structure. In addition, the P-neuron demonstrates the ability for controlled training. We demonstrate that a multi-input P-neuron can successfully classify small images (<inline-formula> <tex-math>$5times 5$ </tex-math></inline-formula> pixels) of English alphabet symbols. Recognition is based on analyzing the time characteristics of the output neuron signal and comparing them with reference samples. We believe that the obtained results are important for the development and optimization of ultrafast neural network based on AFM nanostructures and AFM spintronic devices capable of generating and processing (sub)terahertz-frequency signals.","PeriodicalId":54149,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Exploratory Solid-State Computational Devices and Circuits","volume":"12 ","pages":"9-17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11250656","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145969438","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}

This simulation study presents a double-gate (DG)-RSD MOSFET technology with a short gate length (50 nm) to significantly improve the performance of logic-in-memory (LIM) and neuromorphic computing (NC) systems. By taking advantage of the superior electrostatic control and reduced parasitic resistance provided by RSD MOSFETs, this work aims to reduce energy consumption for LIM and NC applications. The CTM operation is based on the Fowler–Nordheim (FN) tunneling mechanism, performing 16 Boolean logic functions in two steps: program (PGM) and read operations, including <sc>or</small>, <sc>and</small>, <sc>nor</small>, <sc>nand</small>, <sc>xor</small>, and <sc>xnor</small>. Furthermore, the device shows synapse capability by mimicking long-term potentiation (LTP) and depression long-term depression (LTD) while achieving good linearity and symmetricity between the conductance values. The results reveal that energy consumption for LIM is ~21.4 and ~68.9 fJ for the NC application. This simulation result also demonstrates a high level of accuracy of 88.19%, with less than a 2.04% difference compared to software-based neural networks (90.23%).

NBTI degradation is modeled using a framework combining reaction–diffusion (RD) and reaction–drift–diffusion (RDD) mechanisms in TCAD. BEOL parasitics are extracted using TCAD-generated structures. Both the CFET and NSFET exhibit similar degradation behavior under NBTI stress. However, CFETs show more pronounced degradation due to HCD, primarily driven by stronger SHE. Next, we simulate CFET- and NSFET-based 3-D inverters and SRAM structures in TCAD, with BEOL interconnects up to M3 level, to study the impact of parasitics on the circuit performance. Meanwhile, CFETs offer ~50% area savings at the standard cell level and lower parasitics, leading to a 42% improvement in inverter propagation delay. The SRAM cells based on CFETs are also evaluated and compared against NSFET in terms of area, noise margins, and performance.

We analyze the dispersion relation of a 2-D quantum spin system with a shifted bilayer square lattice through the linear spin wave (LSW) approximation of quantum field theory (QFT). Inspired by recent interest in 2-D van der Waals (vdW) magnetic materials, we consider both short-range interactions given by nearest-neighbor intralayer ferromagnetic and interlayer antiferromagnetic spin-exchange interactions and long-range dipole–dipole interactions. This case, along with lattice shifts, has not been treated in the literature via LSW theory. Computations show the gap in the frequencies for the two lowest-energy magnon modes at zero wavenumber that depend on the horizontal and vertical layer shifts. The frequency gap is attributed to the long-range dipole interaction with the gap becoming more sensitive to the horizontal layer shifts for small layer separation. Our general framework is suitable for numerical computations of a wide collection of 2-D lattice models and presents an essential first step toward a comprehensive model that can incorporate quantum effects leading to quantifiable predictions of additional physical properties, for example, spin coherence length and damping, of interest for engineering of spintronic devices.","PeriodicalId":54149,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Exploratory Solid-State Computational Devices and Circuits","volume":"11 ","pages":"171-178"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11214338","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145455919","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}

At the device level, we show the tradeoffs among the write current, error rate, and time, based on mircomagnetic simulations. Based on ASAP7 PDK design rules, we create the bit-cell and peripheral layouts for SOT-MRAM and design the entire array. In addition, we quantify various array-level tradeoffs using full array SPICE circuit simulations based on layout-extracted parasitic netlists. This is then used to design the entire SOT-MRAM system along with a memory controller. Based on place and route (PnR), we evaluate the system-level PPA for various memory capacities, demonstrating bit densities up to 14.8 Mb/mm2 and read bandwidths up to 2.98 GB/s. Our results show that increasing the memory size from 1 to 16 Mb results in a performance degradation of ~33%–38% due to the impact of interconnect delay. As the results show that the performance of SOT-MRAM is limited by the interconnect delay, it is critical to co-optimize the device and interconnect technology to make SOT-MRAM a viable option at the advanced technology nodes. In addition, material discovery for field-free perpendicular magnetization switching in SOT devices based on out-of-plane spin torque is necessary to achieve SRAM-level write energies.","PeriodicalId":54149,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Exploratory Solid-State Computational Devices and Circuits","volume":"11 ","pages":"139-147"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11202876","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145405389","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}
