We study recurrent networks of binary stochastic Magnetic Tunnel Junctions (sMTJ), aiming at efficiently solving computationally hard optimization problems. After validating a prototyping route, we investigate the impact of hybrid CMOS+MTJ building block variants on the quality of stochastic sampling, a key feature for optimum search in a complex landscape. We carry out a functional […]

Research. The hired person will join the spintronics IC design team, bringing complementary expertise in circuit design and architecture. The aim is to create a holistic chain of design and validation skills, covering all levels of abstraction and enabling the implementation of robust design/validation approaches, from circuit level to architecture and system level (models, physical […]

Bayesian NN (BayNN) using Dropout-based approximation provides a systematic approach for estimating the uncertainty of predictions. Despite such merit, they are not suitable for implementation in an embedded device and in most cases cannot meet high-performance demands for certain applications. Computation in-memory (CiM) architecture with spintronics emerging non-volatile memories (NVMs) is a great candidate for […]

Théo FROTTIER is among Best Poster Award winners at INTERMAG 2023 Conference taking place in May 2023 in Sendai, Japan. The title of the poster prepared with Aurélie KANDAZOGLOU, Cécile GREZES of Topological Spintronics team is “Non-Volatile Electric-Field Control of Spin-Orbit Torques and Anomalous Hall Effect in Perpendicular Ferromagnet-SrTiO3 systems”. The presented results clearly show […]

  We have investigated the use of spintronic devices to enable the implementation of a Binary Ensemble Convolutional Neural Network. A simulation flow has been setup and allowed to evaluate this disruptive combination and very promising results have been obtained in terms of hardware optimization and power reduction. The use of emerging technologies has been […]

Magnetic skyrmions are appealing for use in logic and memory devices combining small size and fast motion. Here, we propose to exploit skyrmion interactions to perform both logic and memory operations at the nanoscale. Our concept opens a path for novel devices which intrinsically merge high-density non-volatile data storage with computing capabilities. a. Schematic representation […]

You find here the list of proposals for Master-2 internships to take place at Spintec during Spring 2023. In most cases, these internships are intended to be suitable for a longer-term PhD work. Interested Master-1 students are also encouraged to apply, as well as students not phased for a Spring internship, especially those coming from […]

SPINTEC involved in the PEPR electronics recently funded by the French government in the framework of the national France 2030 strategy On July 12, 2022, the President of the Republic presented in Crolles the France 2030 national investment strategy for the electronics sector. France 2030 will dedicate more than 5 billion euros to support the […]
