Reconfigurable Sequential-Logic-in-Memory Implementation Utilizing Ferroelectric Field-Effect Transistors.

ABSTRACT: In modern digital systems, sequential logic circuits store and process information over time, whereas combinational logic circuits process only the current inputs. Conventional sequential systems, however, are complex and energy-inefficient due to the separation of volatile and nonvolatile memory components. This study proposes a compact, nonvolatile, and reconfigurable van der Waals (vdW) ferroelectric field-effect transistor (FeFET)-based sequential logic-in-memory (S-LiM) unit that performs sequential logic operations in two nonvolatile states. Unlike conventional edge computing systems that require separate combinational logic circuits, sequential logic circuits (such as latches for short-term data storage), and nonvolatile memory for long-term data storage, this innovative S-LiM unit
