Özet
Beyond CMOS, new technologies are emerging to extend electronic systems with
features unavailable to silicon-based devices. Emerging technologies provide new
logic and interconnection structures for computation, storage and communication
that may require new design paradigms, and therefore trigger the development of
a new generation of design automation tools. In the last decade, several emerging
technologies have been proposed and the time has come for studying new ad-hoc
techniques and tools for logic synthesis, physical design and testing. The main
goal of this project is developing a complete synthesis and optimization methodology for switching nano-crossbar arrays that leads to the design and construction
of an emerging nanocomputer. New models for diode, FET, and four-terminal
switch based nanoarrays are developed. The proposed methodology implements
logic, arithmetic, and memory elements by considering performance parameters
such as area, delay, power dissipation, and reliability. With combination of logic,
arithmetic, and memory elements a synchronous state machine (SSM), representation of a computer, is realized. The proposed methodology targets variety
of emerging technologies including nanowire/nanotube crossbar arrays, magnetic
switch-based structures, and crossbar memories. The results of this project will
be a foundation of nano-crossbar based circuit design techniques and greatly contribute to the construction of emerging computers beyond CMOS. The topic of this
project can be considered under the research area of “Emerging Computing Models” or “Computational Nanoelectronics”, more specifically the design, modeling,
and simulation of new nanoscale switches beyond CMOS.
