    Abstract: Embodiments of present invention provide a vertical magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) structure. The structure includes an L-shaped MTJ stack including an L-shaped reference layer conformally on an L-shaped performance enhancing layer; an L-shaped tunnel barrier layer conformally on the L-shaped reference layer; and an L-shaped free layer conformally on the L-shaped tunnel barrier layer, where a vertical portion of the L-shaped MTJ stack is adjacent to a sidewall of a metal stud, the metal stud being directly on top of a metal wire in a dielectric layer. The structure further includes a first and a second electrode contacting a horizontal portion and a vertical portion of the L-shaped MTJ stack. A method of forming the same is also provided.

    Abstract: A method for power saving and encryption during analysis of media captured by an information capture device using a partitioned neural network includes replicating, by an information capture device, an artificial neural network (ANN) from a computer server to the information capture device. The ANN on the computer server and a replicated ANN, both, include M layers. The method further includes, in response to captured data being input to be processed, partially processing, by the information capture device, the captured data by executing a first k layers using the replicated ANN, wherein only the k layers are selected to execute on the information capture device. The method further includes transmitting, by the information capture device, an output of the k-th layer to the computer server, which partially processes the captured data by executing the remainder of the M layers using the ANN and the output of the k-th layer.

    Abstract: Described herein is a crossbar array that includes a cross-point synaptic device at each of a plurality of crosspoints. The cross-point synaptic device includes a weight storage element comprising a set of nanocrystal dots. Further, the cross-point synaptic device includes at least three terminals for interacting with the weight storage element, wherein a weight is stored in the weight storage element by sending a first electric pulse via a gate terminal from the at least three terminals, the first electric pulse causes the nanocrystal dots to store a corresponding charge, and the weight is erased from the weight storage element by sending a second electric pulse via the gate terminal, the second electric pulse having an opposite polarity of the first electric pulse.
