Multimodal transistors as ReLU activation functions in physical neural network classifiers

Abstract: Artificial neural networks (ANNs) providing sophisticated, power-efficient classification are finding their way into thin-film electronics. Thin-film technologies require robust, layout-efficient devices with facile manufacturability. Here, we show how the multimodal transistor’s (MMT’s) transfer characteristic, with linear dependence in saturation, replicates the rectified linear unit (ReLU) activation function of convolutional ANNs (CNNs). Using MATLAB, we evaluate CNN performance using systematically distor… Show more

“…Also, there is a report of a TFT using the two separated gates. Although Pesch et al did not explicitly use the word ‘split-gate’, they introduced the multimodal transistor (MMT), recognized for its energy efficiency and high performance in analog and other mixed-signal applications [ 78 ]. As shown in Figure 3 d, the MMT was controlled by applying gate voltage biasing, as shown in Figure 3 e. Carrier injection and current switching can be independently controlled by two gates.…”

“…The actfunction represents the activation function. Our work utilizes the Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) activation function, a nonlinear activation function ( Pesch et al, 2022 ). The standard backpropagation trains the neural network by comparing the target value with the predicted result and updating the weight of the training pair to minimize the loss function ( Rosenbaum, 2022 ).…”
