Description
Summary:This work showcases the implementation of 16 Boolean logic functions through a double-gate (DG) fully depleted (FD) Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor-Field-Effect-Transistor (MOSFET). The DG-FD-SOI device with an independent gate operation highlights that Boolean logic functions can be implemented in two steps (Program and Read), and Boolean logic output &#x201C;High&#x201D; (&#x201C;1&#x201D;) and &#x201C;Low&#x201D; (&#x201C;0&#x201D;) depends on the floating body effect. The Program (Step 1) operation is based on band-to-band tunneling and forward bias mechanisms, while the Read (Step 2) operation is based on drift and impact ionization mechanism. The program and read operations for logic-in-memory computing are performed in ~10 ns and consume low energy (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\sim 4.04\times 10 ^{-14}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> J) during the read operation. The results also show that the device with optimized device dimensions, biasing, and timing scheme achieves a drain current ratio of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\sim 10^{5}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>. These results reveal that DG-FD-SOI-based MOSFET for logic-in-memory computing is a compelling alternative to the limitations of von Neumann architectures, offering significant speed and energy efficiency advantages.
