Nanoscale electronic devices are of great interest for all kinds of applications like switching, energy conversion and sensing. The objective of this chapter, however, is not to discuss specific devices or applications. Rather it is to…

The primary mechanism of operation of almost all transistors today relies on electric-field effect in a semiconducting channel to tune its conductivity from the conducting 'on'-state to a non-conducting 'off'-state. As transistors continue…

Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is widely used in acceleration of deep learning applications because of its reconfigurability, flexibility, and fast time-to-market. However, conventional FPGA suffers from the tradeoff between chip area…
