The energy efficiency issue caused by the memory wall in traditional von Neumann architecture is difficult to reconcile. In-memory computing(CIM) based on emerging nonvolatile memory(NVM) is a promising solution to avoid data movement between storage and processors and realize highly energy-efficient computing. Compared with other NVM technologies, phase change random access memory(PCM) exhibits comprehensive performance for analog computing. In this paper, we review advanced PCM techniques,including phase-change materials, mechanisms, and unique properties, as a foundation and inspiration for implementing CIM architecture. Meanwhile, state-of-the-art PCM-based CIM systems are well discussed for high energy efficiency in artificial neural networks, spiking neural networks, and other artificial intelligence(AI) applications. Finally, we present the remaining challenges and potential solutions of CIM for further investigation.

In-Ga-Zn-O(IGZO) channel based thin-film transistors(TFT), which exhibit high on-off current ratio and relatively high mobility, has been widely researched due to its back end of line(BEOL)-compatible potential for the next generation dynamic random access memory(DRAM) application. In this work, thermal atomic layer deposition(TALD) indium gallium zinc oxide(IGZO) technology was explored. It was found that the atomic composition and the physical properties of the IGZO films can be modulated by changing the sub-cycles number during atomic layer deposition(ALD) process. In addition, thin-film transistors(TFTs) with vertical channel-all-around(CAA) structure were realized to explore the influence of different IGZO films as channel layers on the performance of transistors. Our research demonstrates that TALD is crucial for high density integration technology, and the proposed vertical IGZO CAA-TFT provides a feasible path to break through the technical problems for the continuous scale of electronic equipment.
