US Patent Issued to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing on Sept. 1 for "Computation in memory for anneal processing using bitwise capacitive coupling" (Taiwanese Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 1 -- United States Patent no. 12,725,066, issued on Sept. 1, was assigned to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (Hsinchu, Taiwan).

"Computation in memory for anneal processing using bitwise capacitive coupling" was invented by Yu-Der Chih (Hsinchu, Taiwan) and Chun-Yen Yao (Hsinchu, Taiwan).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An annealing processor utilizes capacitive spin update circuits to generate values for determining if spin states should be updated. Each capacitive spin update circuit induces a voltage on a main capacitor via capacitive coupling with a plurality of capacitors of corresponding bit cells. Each bit cell receives a spin value and a spin coupling v...
