Our Background
ULTRA-LOW-POWER AND HIGH PERFORMANCE FETS
Our research focus on the ultra-low power and high performance FETs based on novel device structures and alternative channel materials. Tunneling FET and Negative capacitance FET are investigated with steep switching properties. High mobility materials (III-V compounds), high-K dielectric, and multi-gate structures are developed for better device performance.
NONVOLATILE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM (NES)
Our research concentrated on utilizing the unique properties of spin (such STT, SOT…etc) to develop nonvolatile devices embedded in the circuit system to reach ZERO power under inactive condition and ultimately toward to quantum computing devices. Our focused devices are nanomagnetic logic units, MRAM, full spin transistors, spin oscillators, and so on.
FUNDAMENTALS
(MATERIALS & TRANSPORT)
Our research focused on exploring the fundamentals of materials to identify promising and unique properties for device applications. Furthermore, the related quantum/classical transport theories are studied and are developed for charges or spin transport under steady-state and time transient conditions. This is a fantastic opportunity to investigate new physics at such small dimensions and to understand the characteristics of various devices.
Physics-Inspired Computation (PIC)
Our research group focuses on Physics-Inspired Computation (PIC), particularly within the framework of Probabilistic Computing, aiming to pioneer non-Von Neumann architectures. We utilize novel non-volatile electronic devices (such as RRAM and MTJ) to develop innovative circuitry and specialized hardware solvers. The core of our work involves creating and implementing three fundamental computational primitives: the Probabilistic-bit (p-bit), the Gaussian-bit (g-bit), and the Analog-bit (a-bit).
