Özet
Beyond CMOS, new technologies are emerging to
extend electronic systems with features unavailable to siliconbased 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 adhoc 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 both arithmetic and memory
elements, necessitated by achieving a computer, by considering
performance parameters such as area, delay, power dissipation,
and reliability. With combination of 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.
