Abstract
In this study, we use the CIMulator platform to evaluate the performance of neuromorphic accelerators with novel Hf 0.5 Zr 0.5 O 2 (HZO) ferroelectric fin field-effect transistor (FefinFET) as synaptic device. The MNIST handwritten digit dataset is used for training and inference processes in multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural networks. With the highly optimized synaptic device, the results demonstrate high training and inference accuracy, achieving up to 97% for the MLP, approaching the accuracy of software implementations.
