Highly Reliable Inference System of Neural Networks Using Gated Schottky Diodes

An inference system using gated Schottky diode (GSD) is proposed for highly reliable hardware-based neural networks (HNNs). We explain the characteristics of the GSD and present circuits that take into account the characteristics of the device. The reverse current of the GSD, which is the synaptic current, is saturated with respect to input voltage, which results in immunity of input and output no...
