Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To develop a practical brain computer, we have studied a nanosized synapse device composed of a floating-gate memory and a vertical MOS transistor, which is necessary for huge integration, and its compatibility with neuron and learning circuits. As a result, we have developed poly Si thin film deposition process for floating gate electrodes and fabrication process of vertical MOS transistors, and optimized each process parameters. Furthermore, we estimated the performance of a nanosized synapse device and confirmed its effectiveness and problems in application to large scale neural networks.
