‘Artificial synapse’ points the way toward portable AI devices

Existing designs that typically use non-crystalline solid or amorphous materials have difficulties controlling that flow of ions, which means they’re not that successful in moving info from neuron to neuron. To solve that issue, the team created synapses using silicon wafer and silicon germanium, a material commonly used in transistors. Team leader Jeehwan Kim said …
