Neuromorphic computing is henceforth a major research field for both academic and industrial actors. As opposed to Von Neumann machines, brain-inspired processors aim at bringing closer the memory computational elements efficiently evaluate machine learning algorithms. Recently, spiking neural networks, generation of cognitive algorithms employing primitives mimicking neuron synapse operational principles, have become an important part deep learning. They are expected improve performance...
This paper addresses two technologies as an example of optimized devices for FPGA and fixed-logic IC design (as non volatile Flip-Flops).

As the number of and their associated performance requirements grow rapidly, more powerful, flexible power efficient computing units necessary. In such a context, Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) architectures present good trade-off between flexibility.

With enhancement in the cut-off frequency, CMOS technologies become good candidates for RF applications. Moreover, SOI allow to increase circuit speed, electrical device insulation, suppression of latch up, etc. However, buried oxide increases thermal insulation channel region. A consequence is self heating effect (SHE), which reduce mobility and saturation velocity. This work shows that these degradations are less significant multifinger structures (low resistance) than a single transistor....
