Abstract

We present two approaches for the development of hybrid neurotransistors based on the combination of polarizable thin films on silicon nanowires field-effect transistors for the emulation of signal processing by neurons. The polarizing properties of the films coming from the ion redistribution under bias voltage provide the systems with a memristive behavior needed to achieve the neuronal intrinsic plasticity using ionic migration in the neuron membrane at a hardware level.
