Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of storage, in particular to a high-energy-efficiency TCAM based on a FeFET structure and an operation method thereof. Considering the use of the 2FeFET structure, it is used for the design of a non-volatile, low-power, high-performance TCAM. Background technique [0002] In the era of big data, various data-intensive applications require efficient, parallel data analysis operations to replace sequential, time, and energy-consuming operations in traditional digital machines, and this need is particularly acute in search capabilities. Ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) supports parallel searches on storage memory arrays for a given input vector, and is a potential solution to the challenge of processor memory bottlenecks. Due to its content-addressable and fully parallel properties, TCAM has found applications in many fields such as neuromorphic computing, IP routers, and in-memory data processing. [0003] Alt...
