Parametric Analysis of Spiking Neurons in 16 nm Fin Field‐Effect Transistor Technology
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.Energy efficient computing has driven a shift toward brain‐inspired neuromorphic hardware. This study explores the design of three distinct silicon neuron topologies implemented in 16 nm fin field‐Effect transistor technology. While the Axon‐Hillock design achieves gigahertz throughput, its functional fragility persists. The Morris–Lecar model captures
