TEMPERATURE ASSISTED PROGRAMMING OF FLASH MEMORY FOR NEUROMORPHIC COMPUTING

Abstract:

A method is presented for temperature assisted programming of flash memory for neuromorphic computing. The method includes training a chip in an environment having a first temperature, adjusting the first temperature to a second temperature in the environment, and employing the chip for inference in the second temperature environment. The first temperature is about 125.degree. C. or higher and the second temperature is about 50.degree. C. or lower.
