Abstract

Memristive technology is still not mature enough for the very large-scale integration necessary to obtain practical value from neuromorphic computing. While nonvolatile floating-gate synapse transistors have been implemented in very large-scale integrated neuromorphic systems, their large footprint still constrains an upper bound on the overall performance. A two-terminal floating-gate memristive device can combine the technological maturity of the floating-gate transistor and the conceptual novelty of the memristor using a standard CMOS process. In this paper, we present a top-down computer aided design framework of the floating-gate memristive device and show its potential in neuromorphic computing. Our framework includes a Verilog-A model, small-signal schematics, a stochastic model, Monte-Carlo simulations, layout, DRC, LVS, and RC extraction.
