CPA-DA: Nanocrystal Computing

提案编号：CCF-0811582标题：纳米晶体计算PI姓名：Franzon，Paul D. 北卡罗来纳州州立大学摘要：半导体技术必须继续扩大规模，即使在什么时候？摩尔？s法？在下个十年结束 一种方法，以继续扩大是制定办法，以扩大和加强底层CMOS技术，作为基石的摩尔？s定律。 正是CMOS技术用于制造计算机和其他芯片，推动了电子革命。 在这项工作中，我们建议通过在晶体管中包括CMOS膜来扩展CMOS技术。 这使得能够设计新的功能类型。 我们将研究如何设计计算机电路，这将使这种新的设备。以及追求与本科生的适当参与，并与课程的整合，这个活动也将帮助我们继续支持NCSU物理设计工具包（www.eda.ncsu.edu）。 该套件支持使用流行的商业设计工具在MOSIS工艺中进行IC设计。 该工具包已被2，000多个组织下载，包括大多数主要大学。 随着新工艺的出现和其他必要的改进，我们不断升级该套件。目前，我们（与戴维斯和其他人）正在增加一个概念性的45纳米套件用于课堂使用。

Proposal No: CCF-0811582 Title: Nanocrystal Computing PI name: Franzon, Paul D. North Carolina State University ABSTRACT:Semiconductor technology must continue to scale even when ?Moore?s Law? ends sometime next decade. One approach to continue scaling is to work out approaches to extend and enhance the underlying CMOS technology that serves as the cornerstone of Moore?s Law. It is CMOS technology that is used to build the computer and other chips that drive the electronics revolution. In this effort, we propose to extend CMOS technology by including nanocrystal films in the transistors. This enables new types of functions to be designed. We will investigate how to design the computer circuits that would be enabled by this new device.As well as pursuing appropriate involvement with Undergraduates, and integration with coursework, this activity will also help us continue to support the NCSU Physical Design Kit ( www.eda.ncsu.edu ). This kit enables the design of ICs in the MOSIS processes using popular commercial design tools. This kit has been downloaded by over 2,000 organizations, including most major Universities. We are constantly upgrading this kit as new processes become available and other improvements are deemed necessary. Currently, we (with Davis and others) are adding a notional 45 nm kit for classroom use.
