Monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has become a promising building block in optoelectronics for its high photosensitivity. However, sulfur vacancies and other defects significantly affect the electrical optoelectronic properties of monolayer MoS2 devices. Here, highly crystalline diselenide (MoSe2) monolayers have been successfully synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Low-temperature photoluminescence comparison MoSe2 reveals that shows much weaker bound exciton peak;...

Recent SRAM-based computation-in-memory (CIM) macros enable mid-to-high precision multiply-and-accumulate (MAC) operations with improved energy efficiency using ultra-small/small capacity (0.4-8KB) memory devices. However, advanced CIM-based edge-AI chips favor multiple mid/large SRAM-CIM macros: high input (IN) and weight (W) to reduce the frequency of data reloads from external DRAM, avoid need for additional SRAM buffers or ultra-large on-chip buffers. enlarging throughput increases delay...
SRAM-based computing in memory (SRAM-CIM) is an attractive approach to improve the energy efficiency (EF) of edge-AI devices performing multiply-and-accumulate (MAC) operations. SRAM-CIM with a large capacity enhances EF by reducing data movement between system and compute functions.
