This work introduces two new metallization schemes using the electroless deposition (ELD) technique; one based on contact fill and via prefill. One of key features process is its selective deposition, which can be used for bottom-up high aspect ratio features. The feasibility this Co ELD demonstrated contacts landing W vias Cu. Our simulation resistance shows that it serve as alternative to Cu with lower below 15nm dimension. results from a planar capacitor study show there no degraded...
A dynamic vision sensor (DVS) outputs a sequence of digital events, each representing change in brightness at particular time. As DVS keeps scaling down the pixel size and increasing resolution, larger volume data is generated limited bandwidth, resulting reduced system-level throughput, as shown Fig. 1(a). Hence, conventional interconnect solutions cannot meet requirement real-time output from high-speed DVS.
In-memory computing (IMC) has been proposed as a solution to accelerate deep neural networks (DNNs) and other machine learning algorithms. RRAM-based IMC accelerators combine memory access computation into the same array structure, saving significant amount of chip area. However, output from RRAM crossbar requires an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for further processing which causes accuracy drop, extra power dissipation, area overhead. In addition, device also suffers several...
