摘要:
概率比特(p-bit)是随机计算电路网络中的基本构建单元,能够产生具有可调概率的连续随机比特流。利用少畴铁电材料(FE)中的随机性,我们首次提出了基于铁电FET的p-bit。FE p-bit的随机性源于热噪声引起的晶格振动,这导致偶极子波动,并可通过外部电场进行调节。评估了若干关键FE参数对p-bit随机性的影响,其中畴特性被揭示起关键作用。此外,基于FE p-bit电路网络的整数分解被实施以验证其功能,发现其精度依赖于FE p-bit的随机性。所提出的FE p-bit兼具极低硬件成本和与CMOS工艺兼容的优势,使其成为随机计算应用的有前景候选。
英文摘要:
A probabilistic-bit (p-bit) is the fundamental building block in the circuit network of a stochastic computing, and it could produce a continuous random bit-stream with tunable probability. Utilizing the stochasticity in few-domain ferroelectric material(FE), we propose for the first time, the p-bits based on ferroelectric FET. The stochasticity of the FE p-bits stems from the thermal noise-induced lattice vibration, which renders dipole fluctuations and is tunable by an external electric field. The impact of several key FE parameters on p-bits' stochasticity is evaluated, where the domain properties are revealed to play crucial roles. Furthermore, the integer factorization based on FE p-bits circuit network is performed to verify its functionality, and the accuracy is found to depend on FE p-bits' stochasticity. The proposed FE p-bits possess the advantages of both extremely low hardware coast and the compatibility with CMOS-technology, rendering it a promising candidate for stochastic computing applications.
