JOURNAL OF EXPLORATORY SOLID-STATE
COMPUTATIONAL DEVICES AND CIRCUITS
This is an “Open Access” IEEE journal for the publication in multi-disciplinary fields of research towards solid-state circuits using exploratory materials and devices for novel energy efficient computation beyond standard CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) transistor technology. The focus of the publication is to be on the exploration of materials, devices and computation circuits to enable Moore’s Law to continue for computation beyond a 10 to 15 year horizon (beyond end of the roadmap for CMOS technologies) with the associated density scaling and improvement in energy efficiency. Examples of appropriate topics to submit would be research milestones in the integration of exploratory materials, devices and computation circuits based upon any of the following:
- Quantum electronic devices (e.g. tunneling)
- Spintronics and Nanomagnetics devices
- Straintronics (piezo-electric) devices
- Plasmonics
- Functional materials
- High fan-in, fan-out logic circuits
- Reconfigurable and non-volatile computation circuits
- Computation circuits comprehending the on-chip communication means
This publication provides a unique interdisciplinary forum of scientists and engineers to critique and document progress in this field of promising alternatives to CMOS technology for computation devices, circuits and architecture.
The publication is designed for fast publication of results unifying the areas of solid-state materials, devices, and circuits for novel computation (logic, memory, and communication) towards the exploration for the beyond CMOS technology. The publication is not limited to digital information processing, but also encompasses non-Boolean computation – including analog, neuromorphic computation, and novel concepts in computer automata. It is envisioned that these exploratory methods of computation could augment CMOS.
Research is preferred in materials, devices, and circuits that transcend, unify, and extend these subject boundaries to the next level of integration. Manuscripts on materials are welcomed as long as they explicitly show a path to a device application and have impact. Also, manuscripts on devices are welcomed as long as they show potential to have application in an integrated circuit for computation. Publications on computation circuits and systems are appropriate if they are based on concrete exploratory devices.
The Journal of Exploratory Solid-State Computational Devices and Circuits provides a common venue for researchers in these fields to identify, distill, test and develop ideas for manufacturable information technology and consumer electronic technologies, enabling continuous scaling of accessible computational power. By its nature, the Journal of Exploratory Solid-State Computational Devices and Circuits is a publication that connects materials, devices, and circuits vertically and specifically in the area of energy-efficient computation.
