Abstract
Edge artificial intelligence systems require higher frequency due to intensive computational demands, while most traditional entropy sources decay with frequency. This work shows the physical properties of the Fe-diode devices are ideal for edge systems with high frequencies and dramatic temperature changes. The noise density of Fe-diode can be modified by the amplitude of the read voltage and remains stable at high frequencies and temperature fluctuations. A Bayesian neural network with Fe-diode devices is experimentally implemented in high-speed, high-density silicon-based chips. This hierarchical Bayesian neural network is demonstrated on 3D 16-layer Fe-diode array based on unified entropy source and 4-state synapse. Properties including high area efficiency, wide working temperature range, low energy in-situ training, high recognition accuracy are finally achieved.
