Abstract
This work proposes positive feedback (PF) device-based synaptic devices for reliable binary neural networks (BNNs). Due to PF operation, the fabricated PF device shows a high on/off current ratio (2.69 × 107). The PF device has a charge-trap layer by which the turn-on voltage (Von) of the device can be adjusted by program/erase operations and a long-term memory function is implemented. Also, due to the steep switching characteristics of the PF device, the conductance becomes tolerant to the retention time and the variation in turn-on voltage. Simulations show that high accuracy (88.44% for CIFAR-10 image classification) can be achieved in hardware-based BNNs using PF devices with these properties as synapses.
