Revision as of 23:33, 9 April 2017

Welcome to the NANOxCOMP Project

Nano-crossbar arrays have emerged as a strong candidate technology to replace CMOS in near future. They are regular and dense structures, and fabricated by exploiting self-assembly as opposed to purely using lithography based conventional and relatively costly CMOS fabrication techniques. Currently, nano-crossbar arrays are fabricated such that each crosspoint can be used as a conventional electronic component such as a diode, a FET, or a switch. This is a unique opportunity that allows us to integrate well developed conventional circuit design techniques into nano-crossbar arrays. Motivated by this, we aim to develop a complete synthesis and performance optimization methodology for switching nano-crossbar arrays that leads to the design and construction of an emerging nanocomputer.
