Computing with Ferroelectric Devices
Research discovery of ferroelectricity in doped hafnium dioxide thin films has ignited tremendous activity in exploration of ferroelectric FETs for a range of applications from low-power logic to embedded non-volatile memory and to novel computing paradigms. In this talk, key milestones in the evolution of Ferroelectric Field Effect Transistors (FeFETs) and the emergence of a versatile ferroelectronic platform are presented. FeFET exhibits superior energy efficiency and high performance as embedded nonvolatile memory. When embedded into logic, such as SRAM or D-flip-flop, nonvolatile processor can be designed, which is critical for intermittent computing with unreliable power. The partial polarization switching in multi-domain ferroelectric can be harnessed to develop analog synaptic weight cell for deep learning accelerators. To further improve the energy-efficiency of computation, ferroelectric in-memory computing hardware primitive is designed, with one prominent example of ferroelectric TCAM. From all these developments, ferroelectric emerges as a highly promising platform for various exciting applications.
Biography:
Kai Ni received the B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China in 2011, and Ph.D. degree of Electrical Engineering from Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN, USA in 2016 by working on characterization, modeling, and reliability of III-V MOSFETs. Since then, he became a postdoctoral associate at University of Notre Dame, working on ferroelectric devices for nonvolatile memory and novel computing paradigms. He is now an assistant professor in Microsystems Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology. He has around 60 publications in top journals and conference proceedings, including Nature Electronics, IEDM, VLSI Symposium, IRPS, EDL, etc. His current interests lie in nanoelectronic devices empowering unconventional computing, AI accelerator, security and 3D Monolithic integration.
