Getting memory directly involved in optimization computation: a new approach explored for solving complex problems

This is the major result of collaborative work carried out between CEA-Leti, SPINTEC, and C2N, which has just been published in Nature Communications. Instead of separating memory and processing as in conventional computers, the researchers combined two complementary nanotechnologies on a single component to create a new optimization processor (an Ising machine). What these results show: The voltage used to read the memory helps regulate …

Façonner l'infiniment petit | Our new video series at the heart of micro- and nanotechnology processes

Through this video series, C2N opens the doors of its nanotechnology cleanroom facility to show you the technologies used to fabricate the infinitely small. Thin-film deposition, lithography, etching, scanning electron microscopy: each episode gives a schematic overview of the key steps in micro- and nanotechnologies and the expertise deployed across C2N's technology platforms.
