Abstract

A neuromorphic device for the analog computation of a linear combination of input signals, for use, for example, in an artificial neuron. The neuromorphic device provides non-volatile programming of the weights, and fast evaluation and programming, and is suitable for fabrication at high density as part of a plurality of neuromorphic devices. The neuromorphic device is implemented as a vertical stack of flash-like cells with a common control gate contact and individually contacted source-drain (SD) regions. The vertical stacking of the cells enables efficient use of layout resources.
