  • Patent number: 11502103
    Abstract: Described herein are ferroelectric (FE) memory cells that include transistors having gates with FE capacitors integrated therein. An example memory cell includes a transistor having a semiconductor channel material, a gate dielectric over the semiconductor material, a first conductor material over the gate dielectric, a FE material over the first conductor material, and a second conductor material over the FE material. The first and second conductor materials form, respectively, first and second capacitor electrodes of a capacitor, where the first and second capacitor electrodes are separated by the FE material (hence, a “FE capacitor”). Separating a FE material from a semiconductor channel material of a transistor with a layer of a gate dielectric and a layer of a first conductor material eliminates the FE-semiconductor interface that may cause endurance issues in some other FE memory cells.

  • Patent number: 11502696
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to systems and methods of implementing an analog neural network using a pipelined SRAM architecture (“PISA”) circuitry disposed in on-chip processor memory circuitry. The on-chip processor memory circuitry may include processor last level cache (LLC) circuitry. One or more physical parameters, such as a stored charge or voltage, may be used to permit the generation of an in-memory analog output using a SRAM array. The generation of an in-memory analog output using only word-line and bit-line capabilities beneficially increases the computational density of the PISA circuit without increasing power requirements.
