Abstract:
A ferroelectric computation unit includes a first ferroelectric switching device that includes a first ferroelectric material portion and generates a digital output signal, and a second ferroelectric switching device that includes a second ferroelectric material portion and generates an analog output signal. An output node of one of the first ferroelectric switching device and the second ferroelectric switching device is electrically connected to a gate electrode of another of the first ferroelectric switching device and the second ferroelectric switching device to provide hybrid response characteristics of stochastic digital switching and analog switching.
