xCDC Overview
IEEE Journal on Exploratory Solid State Computational Devices and Circuits is an open-access online journal focused on multi-disciplinary research in solid-state circuits using exploratory materials and devices for novel energy efficient computation beyond standard CMOS (complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) technology. Specifically, the exploration of materials, devices and circuits for computation to enable Moores 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. Published by the IEEE Solid State Circuits Society. Examples of appropriate topics are research milestones in the integration of exploratory materials, devices and computation circuits based upon any of the following:
- Quantum electronics (e.g. tunneling),
- Spintronics and nanomagnetics,
- Straintronics (piezo-electric devices),
- Plasmonics,
- Functional materials,
- High fan-in, fan-out logic circuits,
- Reconfigurable and non-volatile computational circuits,
- Computational circuits comprehending the on-chip communication means.
