Special Section on
Future Nanocomputing: Trends and Challenges
Guest editors
Scope and purpose
The concept of nanocomputing refers to the ability of computers to represent and manipulate data in the nanometer scale. In practice, circuits and computer systems are constructed using transistors with channels significantly shorter than 100 nanometers. Consequently, the current objective is to develop computers that utilize devices no larger than 10 nanometers. To achieve this, nanocomputing must undertake a comprehensive examination of nanotechnology in the field of computing. This aspect comprises interdisciplinary investigations that traverse various fields through the utilization of nanoscale technologies and the exploration of innovative processing paradigms. At the lowest device level, it encompasses not only CMOS but also numerous emerging technologies (including spintronics, molecular, superconducting, and DNA). However, it also incorporates circuit design considerations. It is unsurprising that this research necessitates a forum (and related community) that transcends disciplines to deliberate on innovative post-CMOS and advanced technological avenues for nanocomputing. To address the primary challenges encountered by integrated electronics in the twenty-first century, inventive future resolutions are necessary.
This special issue will showcase the most recent advancements in the multidisciplinary domain of nanocomputing technologies. It will specifically highlight the most recent developments in the corresponding technologies that are applicable for the modeling, design, fabrication and testing of unconventional nanocomputing systems such as biological, quantum, spintronic, and neuromorphic systems. Notably, efficient fabrication and implementation frameworks (from circuits to modules) and a physical foundation (i.e., devices) are necessary for these technological paradigms to function so that computations at the nanoscale can be executed efficiently in such unconventional venues. Therefore, the scientific forum that is specifically focused on technologies for nanocomputing will feature contributions from eminent international theorists and experimentalists. This will offer a one-of-a-kind opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas, share knowledge, identify unresolved matters, and suggest avenues for future research in a vast array of disciplines, including material science, device physics, nonlinear circuit and system theory, memory, and computing applications (including computer architecture).
In conclusion, this special issue provides a novel perspective on the immense possibilities that nanocomputing technologies illuminate. They originate from diverse perspectives, including material engineering, novel modeling elements, different types of nano-computing, emerging signal processing paradigms, and even surpass von Neumann computing through the implementation of unconventional, spintronic, quantum, and neuromorphic computing.

Aims and Scope
Monolithic microelectronic design is facing tremendous challenges in the growing need of computation memory bandwidth and latency, and the energy efficiency of computation which is limiting its performance and cost. Although recent advances (e.g., domain-specific acceleration, near-memory and in-memory computing techniques) try to address these issues, the scaling trend of monolithic design still lags behind the ever-increasing demand of AI algorithms, high-performance computing, high-definition sensing and other data-intensive applications. In this context, technological innovations, in particular 3D integration through packaging and monolithic methods, are critical to enabling heterogeneous integration (HI) and bringing significant performance, energy and cost benefits beyond traditional chip design. 3D logic and memory design allow heterogeneous functional macros (i.e. chiplets) to be flexibly produced and connected with higher interconnection density, length reduction and area utilization, opening new opportunities across the microelectronic design stack.
The paradigm shift to heterogeneous integration and monolithic 3D methods requires a tight collaboration between packaging and chiplet designs spanning the entire design cycle, including devices, circuits, architectures, and design automation tools. Logic and memory will be partitioned into various 3D modules. The designers need to customize each module and define the interface, and assess system-level tradeoffs in performance, data movement, and energy efficiency. Design and synthesis tools have to be aware of 3D integration and planning knowledge (e.g., power delivery, heat dissipation and reliability) to enable the packaging and chiplet co-design. Furthermore, early predictive modeling and analysis of the 3D HI circuits and systems are essential to minimize the iteration cost between 3D architecture definition and design implementation.
This special issue of the IEEE Journal on Exploratory Computational Devices and Circuits (JXCDC) aims to call for the recent research advances in the area of 3D logic and memory design spanning from monolithic 3D and advanced packaging technology to circuits and architectures. Papers on co-design and optimization across multiple domains are encouraged.
