Abstract

We introduce a new compact in-memory computing design for implementing 8-bit addition using eight vertically-stacked nanoscale crossbars of one-diode one-memristor 1D1M switches. Each crossbar in our design only has 5 rows and 4 columns. Hence, the design may be used to fabricate a compact 8-bit adder that meets the size constraint of 50nm χ 50nm χ 50nm imposed by the electrical component of the Feynman Grand Prize. The potential availability of sub-5nm nanoscale memristors and single-molecule diode devices coupled with the ability to fabricate high-density nanoscale memristor crossbars suggests that our design may eventually be fabricated to meet the size constraints of the Feynman Grand Prize.
