Title: Design for memory/logic devices Keywords: Design, post-CMOS electronics, spintronics, architectures, ferroelectrics, magneto-electric spin-orbit Summary:Spintronics devices involve ferromagnetic elements with high switching energies. Contrastingly, the polarization of ferroelectrics can be easily switched by an electric field, at energies typically 1000 times lower. As recently demonstrated by Intel, this makes ferroelectrics good candidates for ultralow-power post-CMOS […]
