Abstract

Due to semiconductor characteristics and non-volatile ferroelectricity, two-dimensional (2D) In₂Se₃ are considered as potential candidates for next-generation storage and computing devices. Based on first principles calculations, we designed antiferroelectric tunnel junctions (AFTJs) using α-In₂Se₃ as channels. The tunneling barrier height is controlled by the antiferroelectric to ferroelectric (AFE-FE) phase transition of the channel. A maximum current ratio up to 426 is predicted between the AFE and FE phases, enabling the two distinct memory states. By constructing two AFTJs into a calculation unit, the total current can either be fully turned on/off or function as XNOR logic with bias as inputs. Our research provides a new approach to implementing integrated storage and computing devices, making it possible for efficient data-centric applications in the era of big data.

α-In2Se3 反铁电隧道结的量子输运模拟

由于二维（2D）In2Se3 具有半导体特性和非易失性铁电性，因此被认为是下一代存储和计算设备的潜在候选材料。基于第一性原理计算，我们设计了以α-In2Se3为通道的反铁电隧道结（AFTJ）。隧道势垒高度由通道的反铁电到铁电（AFE-FE）相变控制。据预测，AFE 和 FE 相之间的最大电流比可高达 426，从而实现了两种不同的存储状态。通过将两个 AFTJ 构建为一个计算单元，总电流既可以完全打开/关闭，也可以作为输入偏置的 XNOR 逻辑运算。我们的研究为实现集成存储和计算设备提供了一种新方法，使大数据时代以数据为中心的高效应用成为可能。
