Miniaturization of advanced logic and memory has allowed us to achieve higher performance, reduced power consumption, and increased storage capacity. As the industry approaches the physical limits of conventional silicon scaling, new materials and devices need to be explored to continue this trend. Furthermore, new forms of computing need to be explored for making breakthrough advancements in hardware accelerator designs that can support the ever-growing size and complexity of the AI models.</p> <p>Ferroelectric materials, with their unique property of spontaneous polarization that can be reversed by an external electric field, are promising candidates that can augment or replace conventional silicon-based semiconductor devices and act as scaling boosters for memory technology and enable new forms of information processing. For example, ferroelectric materials naturally exhibit non-volatile memory characteristics making them ideal candidates for memory application. By integration ferroelectric materials in the gate stack of a conventional silicon transistor, as an integrated capacitor with an access transistor and as a replacement for conventional charge-trap layers, new memory technologies in the form of ferroelectric field-effect transistor (FeFET), ferroelectric random-access memory (FeRAM) and ferroelectric NAND flash (Fe-NAND) can be realized. These can in turn enable orders of magnitude improvement in the storage capacity, energy-efficiency and latency for cache, DRAM and flash memories. Beyond conventional memories, ferroelectric devices also exhibit unique properties including multilevel polarization states and temporal dynamics, making them suitable for mimicking biological neural networks. As such, building digital, analog or mixed-signal circuits with ferroelectric devices can offer potential breakthroughs in energy-efficient, brain-inspired computing, overcoming the bottleneck of traditional von Neumann computing.</p> <p>Such promising opportunities also come with practical challenges pertaining to choice of materials, scalability, performance, reliability and integration with CMOS. For example, aggressive scaling of ferroelectric materials for compatibility with advanced CMOS nodes can degrade their inherent ferroelectric behavior. Ferroelectric materials and devices suffer from fatigue, imprint, and retention issues, which can affect their long-term performance and reliability. Achieving high-speed switching comparable to SRAM remains a significant challenge. Finally, conformal deposition of ferroelectric materials with uniform properties across high aspect ratio 3-D structures is challenging, particularly for highly integrated devices.</p> <p>This special issue of the IEEE Journal on Exploratory Computational Devices and Circuits (JXCDC) aims to call for the recent research advances that address both the challenges and opportunities for information processing and storage with ferroelectric devices and circuits. Papers on co-design and optimization across multiple domains including materials, devices, circuits and architecture/systems are encouraged.</p> <p><strong>Topics of Interests</strong></p> <p>Prospective authors are invited to submit original works and/or extended works based on conference presentations on various aspects of information processing and storage with ferroelectric devices and circuits.

To understand the reasons underlying this trend, we develop a behavioral model of resistive IMCs to analyze the signal-to-noise-plus-distortion ratio (SNDR) of MRAM, ReRAM, and FeFET-based IMCs, employing parameter variation and noise models which are validated w.r.t. measured results from a recent MRAM-based IMC prototype in a 22nm process.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://sscs.ieee.org/event/energy-accuracy-trade-offs-for-resistive-in-memory-computing-architectures-an-sscs-open-journal-webinar/?SSCS%20Open%20Journal%20Webinar%20January&mkt_tok=NzU2LUdQSC04OTkAAAGYTct6Wbwl-RBlZvgoRiidz7kNT4QDK2n5grhyUJLiYkv2wQOzL8levjBz5aNS2gdmX40o_e06gpWftu8BULqgOgvnVEd1ynvz1iyPklvhSQIYhA"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5275" src="https://ieeenano.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Register-Now-300x116.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="116" srcset="https://ieeenano.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Register-Now-300x116.jpg 300w, https://ieeenano.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Register-Now-768x296.jpg 768w, https://ieeenano.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Register-Now.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p> <p><strong>Presenters:</strong></p> <p><strong>Saion K.

The panel was organized by Olga Boric-Lubecke from University of Hawaii at Manoa, with the panelists Kremena Makasheva from CNRS and University of Toulouse, France, Shue Wang from University of New Haven, and Sara Mahshid and Maryam Tabrizian from McGill University, Canada. The event goals were to increase the visibility of distinguished women researchers, raise awareness of diversity importance, and inspire young female students. In addition to promoting this event through IEEE Nanomed 2024 publicity, it was also publicized by the IEEE WIN Committee chair, Noushin Nasiri, from Maquarie University in Australia. The panel was well attended, with about 50 participants, more than 50% male, at various career stages, from students to senior professionals, such as department chairs and IEEE elected officials from the Nanotechnology Council, namely the IEEE NTC President Jin-Woo Kim.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-5260 size-medium" src="https://ieeenano.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/WIN-Event-Picture2-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://ieeenano.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/WIN-Event-Picture2-300x225.jpg 300w, https://ieeenano.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/WIN-Event-Picture2.jpg 378w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />The focus of the panel was importance of gender balance, and broader diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in engineering. Olga Boric-Lubecke opened the panel by asking the audience to take a gender-science implicit bias test offered online by Project Implicit: <a href="https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html">https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html</a>, then shared a presentation on DEI importance and challenges, followed by the panel discussion. Kremena Makasheva, Vice-President for Conferences of IEEE Nanotechnology Council opened the discussion with a topic of leadership, with the goal of inclusion of women in organizing committees, in the organization decision bodies, and in volunteer work to improve representation. Shue Wang discussed the key challenges women face in academia regarding gender biases and workplace climate, and raised the question of how can institutions foster an inclusive environment that supports equitable career advancement. Sara Mahshid invited the audience to reflect on and discuss the biases women faculty face during promotion and tenure and what actions can we, as individuals and institutions, take to address and mitigate these challenges. Maryam Tabrizian shared her insights on how she chooses her trainees and manages the cultural diversity in her research group. The panel continued with an engaged Q&A session with the audience, where diverse audience members shared their experiences and voiced their support for DEI.</p> </div> <p class="postmetadata"> Posted in <a href="https://ieeenano.org/category/ntc-news" rel="category tag">NTC News</a>, <a href="https://ieeenano.org/category/women-in-nanotechnology" rel="category tag">Women in Nanotechnology</a> | <a href="https://ieeenano.org/2025/ntc-women-in-nanotechnology-panel-session-held-at-ieee-nanomed-2024-conference#respond">No Comments »</a></p> </div> <div class="post-5255 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-conferences category-ntc-news" id="post-5255"> <div class="header"><h2><a href="https://ieeenano.org/2025/international-workshop-on-ising-machines-call-for-papers-2025" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to International Workshop on Ising Machines – Call For Papers 2025">International Workshop on Ising Machines – Call For Papers 2025</a></h2></div> <small>January 7th, 2025 </small> <div class="entry"> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-5256 size-medium aligncenter" src="https://ieeenano.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/LogoIISM2025-257x300.png" alt="" width="257" height="300" srcset="https://ieeenano.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/LogoIISM2025-257x300.png 257w, https://ieeenano.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/LogoIISM2025.png 386w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 257px) 100vw, 257px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Website: <a href="https://www.petaspin.com/isingmachines2025/">https://www.petaspin.com/isingmachines2025/</a></strong></p> <p><strong>Call for Papers – Second International Workshop on Ising Machines (IISM 2025) – Chicago/Evanston, Illinois, May 13-15, 2025 </strong></p> <p>We are excited to announce the <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.petaspin.com/isingmachines2025/__;!!Dq0X2DkFhyF93HkjWTBQKhk!VeAEHvqNCoJdIC-NhF8zqm510njWLWkFsel-eooA_5wV8BkfVugV9uT7CbVYrMDTEkl0f9LNrr-MSUY4lMDqWJuW$" data-auth="VerificationFailed" data-linkindex="0">second edition of the International Workshop on Ising Machines</a>, which will be held in Chicago/Evanston (USA) <strong>May 13 to 15, 2025. </strong>IISM 2025 will cover a wide range of topics, including theoretical perspectives, hardware implementations, and applications of Ising machines, as well as advances in other related unconventional and physics-inspired computing paradigms.
