Doping modulated carbon nanotube synapstors for a spike neuromorphic module.

A doping-modulated carbon nanotube (CNT) electronic device, called a "synapstor," emulates the function of a biological synapse. The CNT synapstor has a field-effect transistor structure with a random CNT network as its channel. An aluminium oxide (Al2 O3 ) film is deposited over half of the CNT channel in the synapstor, converting the covered part of the CNT from p-type to n-type, forming a p-n junction in the CNT channel and increasing the Schottky barrier between the n-type CNT and its metal contact. This scheme significantly improves the postsynaptic current (PSC) from the synapstor, extends the tuning range of the plasticity, and reduces the power consumption of the CNT synapstor. A spike neuromorphic module is fabricated by integrating the CNT synapstors with a Si-based "soma" circuit. Spike parallel processing, memory, and plasticity functions of the module are demonstrated. The module could potentially be integrated and scaled up to emulate a biological neural network with parallel high-speed signal processing, low power consumption, memory, and learning capabilities.
