Cryogenic Neuromorphic Synaptic Behavior in 180 nm Silicon Transistors for Emerging Computing Systems

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study investigates the neuromorphic plasticity behavior of 180 nm bulk complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) transistors at cryogenic temperatures. The observed hysteresis data reveal a signature of synaptic behavior in CMOS transistors at 4 K.
