  • Publication number: 20240130100
    Abstract: A memory device is provided. The memory device includes a write pass-gate transistor, a read pass-gate transistor, a write word line, and a read word line. The write pass-gate transistor is disposed in a first layer. The read pass-gate transistor is disposed in a second layer above the first layer. The write word line is disposed in a metallization layer above the first layer and electrically coupled to the write pass-gate transistor through a write path. The read word line is disposed in the metallization layer and electrically coupled to the read pass-gate transistor through a read path. The write path is different from the read path.

  • Publication number: 20230200263
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a quantum bit (qubit) chip. The qubit chip includes two or more qubit wafers arranged along a common axis and one or more spacer elements. The spacer elements and the qubit wafers are alternately arranged on the common axis. The qubit chip further includes a conductive arrangement configured to electrically connect the two or more qubit wafers, where the conductive arrangement includes at least one superconducting via per each qubit wafer of the two or more qubit wafers and each spacer element of the one or more spacer elements, the at least one superconducting via passing through the qubit wafer or spacer element.

  • Publication number: 20230189497
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to static random-access memory (SRAM) devices. Specifically, the disclosure proposes a SRAM device with a three-layered SRAM cell design. The SRAM cell comprises a storage comprising four storage transistors, and comprises two access transistors to control access to the storage cell. The SRAM cell further comprises a stack of three layer structures. Two of the storage transistors are formed in a first layer structure of the stack, and two other of the storage transistors are formed in a second layer structure of the stack adjacent to the first layer structure. The two access transistors are formed in a third layer structure of the stack adjacent to the second layer structure. Each layer structure comprises a semiconductor material, the transistors in the layer structure are based on that semiconductor material, and at least two of the three layer structures comprise a different type of semiconductor material.

  • Patent number: 9979402
    Abstract: The disclosed technology generally relates to magnetic devices and more particularly to spin torque majority gate devices, and to methods of operating such devices. In one aspect, a majority gate device comprises a free ferromagnetic layer comprising 3N input zones and an output zone. The output zone has a polygon shape having 3N sides, where each input zone adjoins the output zone. The input zones are arranged around the output zone according to a 3N-fold rotational symmetry, where N is a positive integer greater than 0. The input zones are spaced apart from one another by the output zone. The majority gate device additionally comprises a plurality of input controls, where each of the input zones is magnetically coupled to a corresponding one of the plurality of input controls, where each of the input controls is configured to control the magnetization state of the corresponding input zone.
