Smart healthcare systems integrated with advanced deep neural networks enable real-time health monitoring, early disease detection, and personalized treatment. In this work, a novel 3D AND-type flash memory array with a rounded double channel for computing-in-memory (CIM) architecture to overcome the limitations of conventional smart healthcare systems: the necessity of high area and energy efficiency while maintaining high classification accuracy is proposed. The fabricated array, characterized by low-power operations and high scalability with double independent channels per floor, exhibits enhanced cell density and energy efficiency while effectively emulating the features of biological synapses.

Hardware-based spiking neural networks (SNNs) inspired by a biological nervous system are regarded as an innovative computing system with very low power consumption and massively parallel operation. To train SNNs with supervision, we propose an efficient on-chip training scheme approximating backpropagation algorithm suitable for hardware implementation. We show that the accuracy of the proposed scheme for SNNs is close to that of conventional artificial neural networks (ANNs) by using the stochastic characteristics of neurons.

Brain-inspired analog neuromorphic systems based on the synaptic arrays have attracted large attention due to low-power computing. Spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) algorithm is considered as one of the appropriate neuro-inspired techniques to be applied for on-chip learning. The aim of this study is to investigate the methodology of unsupervised STDP based learning in temporal encoding systems.

As a synaptic device, TFT-type NOR flash memory cell shows reasonable weight levels (50 levels for long-term potentiation (LTP) and 150 levels for long-term depression (LTD)) and large max/min ratio (═50) for synapse weight. Based on the measurement results of the synapse cell, supervised learning process is simulated using software MATLAB. A new pulse scheme is designed for mimicking spike-rate-dependent plasticity (SRDP) algorithm.

We present a two-layer fully connected neuromorphic system based on a thin-film transistor (TFT)-type NOR flash memory array with multiple postsynaptic (POST) neurons. Unsupervised online learning by spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) on the binary MNIST handwritten datasets is implemented, and its recognition result is determined by measuring firing rate of POST neurons. Using a proposed learning scheme, we investigate the impact of the number of POST neurons in terms of recognition rate.

In this paper, we reviewed the recent trends on neuromorphic computing using emerging memory technologies. Two representative learning algorithms used to implement a hardware-based neural network are described as a bio-inspired learning algorithm and software-based learning algorithm, in particular back-propagation. The requirements of the synaptic device to apply each algorithm were analyzed.
