<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a spiking neuron which does not substantially occupy a silicon surface because of a large-capacity capacitor element. <P>SOLUTION: A plurality of spiking neurons 108<SB POS="POST">1</SB>...108<SB POS="POST">N</SB>includes a neuron provided with integrators 109<SB POS="POST">1</SB>...109<SB POS="POST">N</SB>for storing a reception pulse and dischargers 114<SB POS="POST">1</SB>,,,108<SB POS="POST">N</SB>, and silicon supports 102, 103, 105 having two planes 104, 106. The neurons 108<SB POS="POST">1</SB>...108<SB POS="POST">N</SB>are mounted on one plane. The integrators 109<SB POS="POST">1</SB>...109<SB POS="POST">N</SB>include metal viaholes 110<SB POS="POST">1</SB>...110<SB POS="POST">N</SB>provided between the two planes 104, 106 of the supports. The metal viaholes 110<SB POS="POST">1</SB>...110<SB POS="POST">N</SB>form a capacitor together with the silicon supports, form an accumulation value from the potential of the capacitor, and release a discharge pulse in accordance with the accumulation of received pulse values. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
