[0002] In recent years, with the progress of information technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and 5G communication, the amount of new data has increased explosively. Under the traditional von Neumann architecture, the development of the hardware device with separated storage and calculation is seriously limited by the data transmission bottleneck. In addition, the neural network algorithm cannot be independent of the training data set, and cannot realize general intelligence. Compared with this, the human brain relies on the neural network composed of synapses and neurons, can cope with complex environmental changes, and the energy consumption is only a few fJ / peak order. The further development of artificial intelligence urgently needs a new paradigm of neural simulation with high universality and adaptability based on a neuromorphic complete hardware device. SUMMARY

[0061] The semiconductor layer material of the n-type artificial synapse device is specifically tin oxide or zinc oxide; and the semiconductor layer material of the p-type artificial synapse device is specifically P3HT.
[0062] The synaptic-like synapse is divided into an excitatory synaptic-like synapse or an inhibitory synaptic-like synapse according to the different artificial synapse devices in the component parts.
[0063] The excitatory synaptic-like synapse includes an n-type artificial synapse device, a voltage dividing resistor and a voltage control switch.
[0064] The inhibitory synapse-like device comprises a p-type artificial synapse device, a voltage divider resistor and a voltage control switch.
[0065] The internal structure of the voltage control switch in the synapse-like device 1 is shown in Figure 4 The voltage control switch comprises two triodes and a pull-up resistor; the control end 16 of the voltage control switch is connected with the base of the first triode; the collector 17 of the first triode is connected with one end of the pull-up resistor and the base 19 of the second triode, and the other end of the pull-up resistor is connected with a power supply; the emitter 18 of the first triode is connected with the ground; the first connecting end 14 of the voltage control switch is connected with the emitter of the second triode; the second connecting end of the voltage control switch is connected with the collector of the second triode; and the internal triode of the voltage control switch is MJL3281AG.
[0066] In the synapse-like device 1, the drain 12 of the artificial synapse device is connected with the first connecting end 14 of the voltage control switch; the source 13 of the artificial synapse device is connected with one end of the voltage divider resistor and the same-phase input end 21 of the comparator, and the other end of the voltage divider resistor is connected with the ground; the control end 16 of the voltage control switch is connected with the output end 23 of the comparator; and the gate of the artificial synapse device receives an input signal (usually the output signal of the previous synapse-LIF artificial neuron device, and the signal form is a pulse signal).
[0067] The cell body-like device 2 is shown in Figure 4 As shown on the right side, the cell body-like device 2 comprises one comparator; the same-phase input end 21 of the comparator is connected with the source 13 of the artificial synapse device and one end of the voltage divider resistor; the opposite-phase input end 22 of the comparator is connected with a voltage source, and the voltage value of the voltage source is the threshold value of the neuron firing pulse; the positive power supply end 24 of the comparator is connected with a positive power supply; the negative power supply end 25 of the comparator is connected with a negative power supply; the output end 23 of the comparator is connected with the control end 16 of the voltage control switch; and the model of the comparator includes but is not limited to LM393.
[0068] The comparator is used for comparing the voltage signals of the two input ports in the same phase and in the opposite phase.
[0069] The synapse-LIF (Leaky-Integrity-Fire) artificial neuron model in the application is implemented as follows:
[0070] The characteristics of the artificial synapse device are shown in Figure 6As shown, taking an N-type artificial synapse device as an example: the drain electrode is connected to a positive voltage, and a positive pulse signal is input to the gate electrode. Under the action of continuous positive pulse signals, the current at the drain electrode of the artificial synapse device continuously increases, and the higher the pulse frequency, the faster the increase in the drain current. The change in the drain current indicates that the conductance of the N-type device decreases under the action of a positive gate voltage, and the conductance of the artificial synapse device increases under the action of a negative gate voltage. Similarly, the conductance of a P-type device decreases under the action of a negative gate voltage, and the conductance increases under the action of a positive gate voltage.
[0071] 1) Charge accumulation process (taking an N-type device as an example): when the control end 16 of the voltage-controlled switch is at a low voltage, the voltage-controlled switch is closed (the first connection end 14 of the voltage-controlled switch is connected to the second connection end 15), the bias voltage source is connected to the drain electrode 12 of the artificial synapse device, and under the action of continuous positive pulse signals, the conductance of the artificial synapse device decreases, the ratio of the resistance of the artificial synapse device to the resistance of the voltage divider decreases, and a gradually increasing voltage can be tested at the 13 port (as shown by the dashed line in the middle). Figure 7
[0072] 2) Charge leakage process (taking an N-type device as an example): when the control end 16 of the voltage-controlled switch is at a high voltage, the voltage-controlled switch is open (the first connection end 14 of the voltage-controlled switch is disconnected from the second connection end 15); the artificial synapse device is disconnected from the bias voltage source, and the voltage at the source electrode 13 of the artificial synapse device decreases.
[0073] 3) Threshold comparison process: when the voltage value at the 21 port exceeds the voltage input at the reverse input end 22 of the comparator, the output voltage at the output end 23 of the comparator is equal to the supply voltage of the positive power supply port 24, and when the voltage at the 21 port does not reach the voltage at the 22 port, the output voltage at the 23 port is the supply voltage of the negative power supply port 25.
[0074] 4) Pulse emission process (taking an N-type device as an example): the output end 23 of the comparator and the control end 16 of the voltage-controlled switch are at the same potential, and when both ports are at a low potential, the bias voltage source is connected to the drain electrode 12 of the artificial synapse device, and under the action of continuous positive pulse signals, the conductance of the artificial synapse device decreases, the ratio of the resistance of the artificial synapse device to the resistance of the voltage divider decreases, and a gradually increasing voltage can be tested at the 13 port, and the voltage at the same direction input end 21 port of the comparator increases together with the voltage at the source electrode 13 of the artificial synapse device (as shown by the dashed line in the middle). Figure 7 As shown in the middle dashed line), until the 21 port point exceeds the threshold voltage of the reverse input end 22 of the comparator, the output end 23 of the comparator outputs the power supply voltage of the positive power supply port 24, and the control end 16 of the voltage control switch is positive voltage at this time, so that the voltage control switch is turned off, and the voltage of the 13 port is gradually reduced; the voltage of the same direction input end 21 of the comparator is reduced together with the voltage of the source electrode 13 of the artificial synapse device, until the voltage of the 21 port is lower than the threshold voltage of the reverse input end 22 of the comparator; the output end 23 of the comparator outputs the power supply voltage of the negative power supply port 25, and the 23 port forms a pulse in the positive / negative power supply voltage flipping process (as shown in the middle dashed line). Figure 7 As shown in the middle dashed line).
