This session discusses new technologies and design ideas for 3D chips, memories and atomic-scale computing. The first paper presents a self-reference sensing scheme for memories, resolving large bit-to-bit variations of magnetic tunnelling junctions. The second paper proposes a Pseudo-CMOS design style for flexible electronics. It uses only mono-type thin-fin transistors, and has a comparable performance than complementary-type designs. The third paper proposes a redundancy scheme improving timing closure and fault tolerance of 3D stacked chips. Finally, the last paper explores the prospect of atomic-scale computing in nonferromagnetic lattices or spin-glasses.
