Integrating intelligence on silicon electronic systems.An inter-university cooperative research project for innovative process, device, circuit, and system technologies

An inter-university cooperative research project has been launched aiming at creating a new paradigm of computing hardware based on silicon technology. The binary-multivalued-analog merged hardware computation based on a four-terminal device with innovative architecture, is the guiding principle for the development of an intelligent system. And most importantly, the research on the high accuracy processing and materials technology, that substantiate the advanced system on a silicon chip, is inseparably merged into the entire project.
