Show affiliationsTwo-dimensional arrays of vertical quantum wire Esaki tunnel diodes, laterally connected to their nearest neighbors by resistive/capacitive connections, constitute a powerful and versatile neuromorphic architecture that can function as classical Boolean logic circuits, associative memory, image processors, and combinatorial optimizers. In this paper, we discuss the basic philosophy behind adopting this architecture for nanoelectronic circuits and report on our experimental progress towards synthesizing this system.
