Abstract
A neuromorphic data processing device comprising a plurality of spiking neurons, with each of these neurons comprising: an integrator designed to receive successive analog pulses each having a certain value, and accumulate the values of the pulses received in a recorded value, referred to as accumulation value, and a discharger designed to emit a pulse, referred to as discharge pulse, according to the accumulation value, and a silicon support having two surfaces, the neurons being carried out on at least one of the two surfaces, the integrator of each neuron comprising a metal via of the TSV type between the two surfaces of the silicon support, the metal via of the TSV type forming a capacitor with the silicon support and having an electric potential forming the accumulation value wherein the values of the pulses received are accumulated and according to which the discharge pulse is emitted.
