Imec has fabricated devices using MoS2 – a 2D material which can be grown in stable form with nearly atomic thickness and atomic precision. Imec synthesized the material down to monolayer (0.6nm thickness) and fabricated devices with scaled contact and channel length, as small as 13nm and 30nm respectively. These very scaled dimensions, combined with ...

Leti has fabricated a fully integrated bio-inspired neural network, combining resistive-RAM-based synapses and analogue spiking neurons. The neural network implementation places the synapses close to neurons, which enables direct synaptic current integration. Spiking neural networks are composed of bio-inspired neurons, which communicate by emitting spikes, discrete events that take place at a point in time, ...
