Abstract
A pulse frequency modulation (PFM) type ferroelectric neuron
circuit composed of a metal-ferroelectric-semiconductor field effect
transistor (MFSFET) and a CMOS Schmitt-trigger oscillator was fabricated
on an SOI structure, in which
SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) was used as a
ferroelectric gate material of the FET. It was found that the fabricated
MFSFET showed a relatively good ID-VG (drain
current versus gate voltage) characteristic with a hysteresis loop due
to the ferroelectricity of the SBT film and that it acted as a synapse
device with adaptive-learning function. It was also found that the
output pulse height of the circuit was as high as the power supply
voltage and that output pulse frequency was changed as the number of
applied input pulses increased
