摘要: Technical solutions are described for storing weight in a crosspoint device of a resistive processing unit (RPU) array. An example system includes a crosspoint array, wherein each array node represents a connection between neurons of the neural network, and wherein each node stores a weight assigned to the node. The crosspoint array includes a crosspoint device at each node. The crosspoint device includes a counter that has multiple single bit counters, and states of the counters represent the weight to be stored at the crosspoint device. Further, the crosspoint device includes a resistor device that has multiple resistive circuits, and each resistive circuit is associated with a respective counter from the counters. The resistive circuits are activated or deactivated according to a state of the associated counter, and an electrical conductance of the resistor device is adjusted based at least in part on the resistive circuits that are activated.

摘要: A metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor structure includes source and drain regions formed within a semiconductor substrate, a first conducting layer formed over the source and drain regions, and a dielectric layer formed over the first conducting layer. The MIM capacitor structure further includes a second conducting layer formed over the dielectric layer, and a sidewall dielectric formed adjacent the first conducting layer and the dielectric layer. An electric field is created indirectly through the sidewall dielectric to an adjacent field effect transistor (FET) channel in the semiconductor substrate.

摘要: A method and resulting structures for a semiconductor device includes forming a source terminal of a semiconductor fin on a substrate. An energy barrier is formed on a surface of the source terminal. A channel is formed on a surface of the energy barrier, and a drain terminal is formed on a surface of the channel. The drain terminal and the channel are recessed on either sides of the channel, and the energy barrier is etched in recesses formed by the recessing. The source terminal is recessed using timed etching to remove a portion of the source terminal in the recesses formed by etching the energy barrier. A first bottom spacer is formed on a surface of the source terminal and a sidewall of the semiconductor fin, and a gate stack is formed on the surface of the first bottom spacer.

摘要: A CMOS-based resistive processing unit (RPU) and method for a neural network. The RPU includes a capacitor device configured to store a charge representing a weight value associated with a neural network circuit operation. A current source Field Effect Transistor (FET) device is operatively connected to the capacitor device for increasing a charge on the capacitor. A current sink FET device operatively connected to the capacitor device is configured for decreasing the stored capacitor charge. An analog weight update circuit receives one or more update signals generated in conjunction with the neural network circuit operation, the analog weight update circuit controlling the current source FET device and the current sink FET device to provide either a determined amount of current to increase the stored charge on the capacitor device, or sink a determined amount of current to decrease the stored charge on the capacitor device.
