Abstract
- All spin logic device (ASLD) is a promising option to realize the ultra-low power computing systems. However, the low spin transport efficiency and the non-local switching of the detector have become two key challenges of the ASLD. In this paper, we analyze the energy consumption of a graphene based ASLD with the ferromagnetic layer switching assistance by voltage control magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) effect. This structure has significant potential towards ultra-low power consumption: the applied voltage can not only shorten switching time of the ferromagnetic layer, but also decreases the critical injection current; the graphene channel enhances greatly the spin transport efficiency. By applying the approximate circuit model, the impact of material configurations, interfaces and geometry can be synthetically studied. An accurate physic model was also developed, based on which, we carry out the micro-magnetic simulations to analyze the magnetization dynamics. Combining these electrical and magnetic investigations, the energy consumption of the proposed ASLD can be estimated. With the optimizing parameters, the energy consumption can be reduced to 2.5 pJ for a logic operation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
