This study demonstrates a triple-node FinFET (TriNo-FinFET) with non-ohmic Schottky junctions for an artificial synapse. The TriNo-FinFET utilizes three mechanisms: thermionic emission in a subthreshold region, tunneling in a transition region, and drift transport in an inversion region. The transition region, dominated by tunneling with non-ohmic Schottky junctions, improves the linearity of potentiation and depression. An average recognition rate of 90% for handwritten digits in the MNIST dataset is achieved. Moreover, the TriNo-FinFET with a double-layered charge trap layer (CTL) shows enhanced weight-update speed by up to 48-fold compared to that with a single-layered CTL.
