Design Automation for Field-coupled Nanotechnologies

May 11, 2021

Thesis overview, École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne - Laboratoire des Systèmes Intégrés, Lausanne, Switzerland

In this invited talk in the Laboratoire des Systèmes Intégrés (LSI) at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland, I gave an overview of my dissertation entitled Design Automation for Field-coupled Nanotechnologies. Due to the brevity of this 40 minute talk, I focused on an excerpt of my work, namely placement & routing for FCN. The discussed algorithms allow for the generation of circuit layouts from given logic networks in both exact and scalable fashion.

Field-coupled Nanocomputing (FCN)

January 16, 2019

Lecture, Johannes Kepler University Linz - Emerging Computer Technologies, Linz, Austria

In this guest lecture in the graduate course Emerging Computer Technologies at Johannes Kepler University Linz, I gave an introduction to Field-coupled Nanocomputing (FCN) technologies and concepts. This promising class of post-CMOS devices has the potential for highest processing performance with tremendously low energy dissipation. At the same time, physical design of these nano-structures imposes hard challenges, even compared to classical CMOS layout.
