Reservoir computing utilizing HfO2‐based ferroelectric neuromorphic devices with WOx nano insertion layers for efficient speech recognition

open access: yesInfoMat, EarlyView.
Reservoir computing can slash speech‐processing power, but existing bio‐auditory hardware remains inefficient. We demonstrate high‐performance ferroelectric neuromorphic devices based on TiN/WOx/Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 (HZO, 4 nm)/TiN heterostructures for constructing an artificial auditory nervous system for efficient voice recognition.
