CRC 1459 - C06: Mixed-mode in-memory computing using adaptive phase-change materials

Basic data for this project

Description

We develop neuromorphic architectures that exploit phase-change materials to implement in-memory computing. Nanophotonic waveguides will allow for realizing high-bandwidth neuromorphic processors with both optical and electrical feedback. Nanoscale artificial synapses will be based on phase-change materials, which are electrically programmed into multiple memory states for weighted optical readout. Using material engineering and spatially resolved phase-state assignment, we will create interconnected logic arrays for mixed-mode information processing.
