Ferroelectric Devices, Circuits and Architectures for AI Hardware Design

We will present the recent progresses on doped HfO2 based ferroelectric devices and their applications: 1) fundamental device physics and variability of ferroelectric field effect transistor (FeFET); 2) a new concept on ferroelectric non-volatile capacitor (nvCap) for “charge-domain” in-memory-computing; 3) back-end-of-line (BEOL) ferroelectric gated router for mapping different AI models; 4) ferroelectric 3D V-NAND for in-memory-search to accelerate the genome sequencing.
