Invited Lecture: Intelligent Memory Devices and Systems in Sustainable Computing
Speaker: Prof. Tuo-Hung (Alex) Hou
Department of Electrical Engineering and Institute of Electronics, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), Taiwan
Abstract
Memory technology is not only a cornerstone of today’s semiconductor industry but also a driving force behind innovations in big data processing, AI acceleration, neuromorphic computing, hardware security, and combinatorial optimization. In the emerging era of intelligent memory, memory-centric architectures promise unprecedented parallelism, energy efficiency, and density beyond conventional von Neumann systems, paving the way for sustainable computing of the future.
In this lecture, Prof. Hou will present the latest developments in ferroelectric and magnetic memories at NYCU, including BEOL-compatible ferroelectric transistors, ferroelectric tunnel junctions, STT-MRAM, and SOT-MRAM. He will also highlight demonstrations of highly energy-efficient in-memory computing, in-memory annealing, and in-memory sensing enabled by these novel memory devices.

Intelligent Memory Devices and Systems in Sustainable Computing
Memory technology is not only a pillar of the present semiconductor industry, but it also plays a critical role in various innovation frontiers, such as big data storage/processing, AI acceleration, neuromorphic computing, hardware security, and combinatorial optimization. Memory-centric architectures and computing systems promise to provide unprecedented parallelism, energy efficiency, and density beyond the conventional von Neumann architectures, supporting sustainable computing of the future. In this era of intelligent memory, breakthroughs in memory devices, circuits, and architectures are required. We will discuss the latest developments in ferroelectric and magnetic memory at NYCU, including BEOL-compatible ferroelectric transistors, ferroelectric tunnel junctions, STT-MRAM, and SOT-MRAM. Leveraging new memory device innovations, demonstrations of highly energy-efficient in-memory computing, in-memory annealing, and in-memory sensing will also be
highlighted.
