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.
Project objectives are 1) synthesizing Boolean functions with area optimization; 2) achieving fault
tolerance; 3) performing performance optimization by considering area, delay, power, and accuracy;
4) implementing arithmetic and memory elements; and 5) realizing a synchronous state machine.
