Abstract
In some embodiments, an integrated circuit (IC) device includes an active semiconductor layer, a circuitry formed within the active semiconductor layer, a region including conductive layers formed above the active semiconductor layer, and a memory module formed in the region. The memory device includes a three-dimensional array of memory cells, each adapted to store a weight value, and adapted to generate at each memory cell a signal indicative of a product between the stored weight value and an input signal applied to the memory cell. The memory module is further adapted to transmit the product signals from the memory cell simultaneously in the direction of the active semiconductor layer.
