Abstract Artificial synapses can boost neuromorphic computing to overcome the inherent limitations of von Neumann architecture. As a promising memristor candidate, ferroelectric tunnel junctions (FTJ) enable authors successfully emulate spike‐timing‐dependent synapses. However, nonlinear and asymmetric synaptic weight update under repeated presynaptic stimulation hampers by favoring runaway weights during learning. Here, demonstrate an FTJ whose conductivity varies linearly symmetrically...
