  1. Nano-Array Hybrid CMOS/Nanoelectronic Circuits e. g. CMOS, FPNI

  2. CMOL, FPNI, Nano-Array • Realism • We were charged to find a magic solution that would continue scaling in power and speed, given that density scaling looks healthy • CMOL and FPNI continue scaling in density but are not a magic solution for power and speed • Could provide for progress while reinforcing realistic expectations • Risk Reduction/Infrastructure/Horizontal Solution • Circuit works with 4 devices presented at this meeting, and others too

  3. Technical Advantages • Enables features smaller than lithographic resolution from a manufacturing process that is not as technically challenging as lithography • Drawing parallel lines or nano-imprint • Stacks on top of CMOS thus enabling additional function without taking away real estate for CMOS (2½-D) • Can be used to create diverse structures • (non-volatile) memory • Logic (FPGA-like)

  4. Possible Advantage over CMOS • CMOS, FPNI will not beat the fundamental limits on CMOS logic • However, CMOS performance includes a major effect due to wire • CMOL, FPNI alter the CMOS performance equation at the wire level and could offer a modest boost “Beyond CMOS” • Addressed by Andre’s analysis that benefit was partly due to lots of devices and partly due to reduced linewidth

  5. Roadmap • Advocates prepared a roadmap • We can debate the realism of the the advocates’ roadmaps, but the mere presence of a roadmap is a sign of considerable maturity • Speed, power and density offer some advantage over plain CMOS

  6. Design • Tools already exist for design with CMOL, FPNI, etc. • We can debate the maturity of the tools, but the mere presence of tools is a sign of considerable maturity

  7. Logic Family • FIT rates estimated • Defect tolerance included • Power estimates, including wire delay

  8. Andre showed head-to-head competition with CMOS/ASIC – looked like a good competition. What might come beyond competing with CMOS? Advantages that could come from crosspoint device non-volitile memory, which would introduce new function RAD/SEU hard, which would be an advance “Design modality choice” – designer could optimize across design by ASIC, nano-array, or a mixture or design styles Possible Secondary Benefits
