The FIXIT partner NaMLab co-organizes a workshop entitled “Cross-stack Explorations of Ferroelectric-based Logic and Memory Solutions for At-Scale Compute Workloads” at DATE 2025! This workshop will speak to research with respect to ferroelectrics at all levels of the design stack.
- It will begin by discussing ferroelectric device concepts (e.g., front end of line (FEOL) and back end of line (BEOL) ferroelectric field effect transistors (FeFETs), ferro-based NAND, FeRAM, etc. as well as modeling efforts).
- Talks will effectively consider ferroelectrics from the “bottom-up” by addressing (a) how materials-based design-levers may influence device behavior (i.e., how might we optimize a device for a figure of merit that most benefits an application-level workload) and (b) new research in AI-guided materials discovery.
- Subsequently, talks will consider the use of ferroelectric devices in novel circuits and/or memory architectures (e.g., associative memories, crossbar-based structures, and ferroelectric solutions where computation is done via charge sharing).
- Novel algorithmic solutions based on ferroelectric devices, as well as how one might develop compiler support for technology-enabled, IMC solutions will also be discussed.
This workshop will include a submission-based poster-session to maximize engagement from the DATE community.
