Abstract: A device includes a first memory cell, a second memory cell, a first logic element, a second logic element, and a third logic element. The first memory cell is configured to store a first bit at a first node, and the second memory cell is configured to store a second bit at a second node. The first logic element includes a first node input terminal coupled to the first node, the second logic element includes a second node input terminal coupled to the second node, and the third logic element includes a first input terminal coupled to a first output terminal of the first logic element and a second input terminal coupled to a second output terminal of the second logic element.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a structure with front and back side power supply interconnects. The structure includes a transistor structure disposed in a substrate, where the transistor structure includes a source/drain (S/D) region. The structure also includes a front side power supply line above a top surface of the substrate, wherein the front side power supply line is electrically connected to a power supply metal line. The structure further includes a back side power supply line below a bottom surface of the substrate. A front side metal via electrically connects the front side power supply line to a front surface of the S/D region. A back side metal via electrically connects the back side power supply line to a back surface of the S/D region.

Abstract: A device includes a memory array formed on a front side of a substrate. The memory array is accessible through a plurality of bit lines. The memory device includes a switch transistor formed on the front side of the substrate. The switch transistor is operatively coupled to the plurality of bit lines. The memory device includes a first capacitor formed on a back side of the substrate. The first capacitor is configured to reduce a voltage level present on at least one of the plurality of bit lines, in response to the switch transistor being turned off.

Abstract: Systems and methods for floating-point processors and methods for operating floating-point processors are provided. A floating-point processor includes a quantizer, a compute-in-memory device, and a decoder. The floating-processor is configured to receive an input array in which the values of the input array are represented in floating-point format. The floating-point processor may be configured to convert the floating-point numbers into integer format so that multiply-accumulate operations can be performed on the numbers. The multiply-accumulate operations generate partial sums, which are in integer format. The partial sums can be accumulated until a full sum is achieved, wherein the full sum can then be converted to floating-point format.
