Emerging nonvolatile memory (eNVM) have aroused extensive attention due to their low power and high speed. Recent advances have further moved eNVM to the forefront as key enablers of nonvolatile logics (nvLogics) for IoT devices and computing-in-memory (CIM) for AI chips. In this paper, we firstly examine the circuit-device-interaction (CDI) issues to implement high-performance memory macro. Then we review examples of emerging eNVM-based nvLogics for nonvolatile processors and CIM macro for AI chips with an emphasis on the challenges required CDI.
