FERROELECTRIC DEVICE AND WAVE COMPUTING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17887515 titled 'FERROELECTRIC DEVICE AND WAVE COMPUTING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a ferroelectric device with a wave computing capability. The device includes a ferroelectric layer that can transduce electrical wave signals to mechanical stress and vice versa, based on the polarization state programmed in the layer. A wave guide is used to transmit the resulting wave signal, which can be in phase or out of phase with the electrical wave signal based on the polarization state of the ferroelectric layer.

Original Abstract Submitted
A ferroelectric device and a wave computing device are provided. The ferroelectric device includes a first electrode, a second electrode, a ferroelectric layer and a wave guide. The ferroelectric layer is disposed between the first and second electrodes, and configured to transduce an electrical wave signal to a varying mechanical stress by piezoelectricity, or vice versa. A first polarization state or a second polarization state opposite to the first polarization state is programmed in the ferroelectric layer. The wave guide is in contact with the ferroelectric layer, and configured to transmit a wave signal resulted from or resulting the varying mechanical stress. The wave signal is in phase with the electrical wave signal when the ferroelectric layer is programmed with the first polarization state. The wave signal is out of phase with the electrical wave signal when the ferroelectric layer is programmed with the second polarization state.
