Abstract


Neuromorphic electronic devices have recently been a candidate for new computing architecture associated with innovative nanotechnologies. A report of the characterization of Nanoparticle organic memory transistor (NOMFET) introduced a similar behavior to a biological spiking synapse in neural networks. In this paper, a refinement model based on the extracted parameters including a hybrid NOMFET/CMOS neuromorphic computing circuit and architecture of synapse to neuron interface by characterizing transistor -- memory and the temporal dynamic function is presented. A compact EKV model refinement serves as a link between nanotechnology process and circuit design for novel CMOS devices.
