The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) received a $266,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Computing and Communication Foundations under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070).

The award will fund Penn State's development of a ferroelectric vertical NAND flash memory alternative called a vertical NAND ferroelectric field-effect transistor from FY2023-FY2027. This compute-in-memory accelerator aims to meet growing demands for high-capacity, energy-efficient memory technology needed to power artificial intelligence models at gigabyte to terabyte scales. Key deliverables include novel cell designs to achieve multi-level cell functionality and variation suppression, an array structure to mitigate disturbs in vertical NAND arrays, and mapping benchmark information processing tasks to the proposed vertical NAND architecture. The university will also conduct associated workforce training and student research activities over the four-year period of performance.
