Abstract

In this paper, we consider devices, circuits, and systems comprised of transistors with integrated ferroelectrics. Said structures are actively being considered by various semiconductor manufacturers as they can address a large and unique design space. Transistors with integrated ferroelectrics could (i) enable a better switch (i.e., offer steeper subthreshold swings), (ii) are CMOS compatible, (iii) have multiple operating modes (i.e., I-V characteristics can also enable compact, 1-transistor, non-volatile storage elements, as well as analog synaptic behavior), and (iv) have been experimentally demonstrated (i.e., with respect to all of the aforementioned operating modes). These device-level characteristics offer unique opportunities at the circuit, architectural, and system-level, and are considered here from device, circuit/architecture, and foundry-level perspectives.
