Abstract:
A compute-in-memory bitcell is provided that includes a pair of cross-coupled inverters for storing a stored bit. The compute-in-memory bitcell includes a logic gate for multiplying the stored bit with an input vector bit. An output node for the logic gate connects to a second plate of a capacitor. A first plate of the capacitor connects to a read bit line. A write driver controls a power supply voltage to the cross-coupled inverters, the first switch, and the second switch to capacitively write the stored bit to the pair of cross-coupled inverters.

Abstract:
An OTP memory array includes a plurality of differential P-channel metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) OTP memory cells programmable and readable in predetermined states of program and read operations, and is capable of providing sufficient margins against global process variations and temperature variations while being compatible with standard logic fin-shaped field effect transistor (FinFET) processes to obviate the need for additional masks and costs associated with additional masks.
Abstract:
Non-volatile memory devices and logic devices are fabricated using processes compatible with high dielectric constant/metal gate (HK/MG) processes for increased cell density and larger scale integration. A doped oxide layer, such as a silicon-doped hafnium oxide (HfO2) layer, is implemented as a ferroelectric dipole layer in a non-volatile memory device
