Leaky Integrate-and-Fire Biristor Neuron

Han, Jin-Woo, Meyyappan, M.·2018·IEEE Electron Device Letters

Abstract

Spiking neural network has attracted much attention due to its efficient learning and recognition capability. Herein, a leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neuron is implemented using conventional silicon fabrication on 4F2 footprint. A vertical n-p-n back-to-back diode with floating p-base region, referred as biristor, functions as the LIF neuron. A static current drive results in closed loop feedback in the biristor, exhibiting output voltage oscillation due to periodic charging and discharging in the floating p-base. The LIF rate linearly increases with the drive current. A spiking frequency of up to a few kHz is verified.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The operation of the cryptoristor relies on the mechanism of STL, which occurs when sufficient holes are provided via impact ionization under a high lateral electric field, temporarily stored in an FB, and suddenly escaped from the FB.

    “The operation of the cryptoristor relies on the mechanism of STL, which occurs when a sufficient number of holes are provided via impact ionization under a high lateral electric field, temporarily stored in an FB, and suddenly escaped from the FB (33–36).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
