This project investigates the use of ultraviolet light to set the weights on synapses in a Hopfield style neural network. Specifically, the P.I. will: determine which geometrical structures are best suited to controlling a UV writable floating node; determine how well the nulling works over parameter variations such as temperature and power supply variations; and develop the circuits and layout necessary to implement a Hopfield style neural network. The P.I.'s previous work on using ultraviolet light to set voltages on poly-silicon gates in a standard CMOS integrated circuit is a solid base from which to progress.

这个项目研究了在Hopfield风格的神经网络中使用紫外线来设置突触的权重。具体来说，pi将确定哪种几何结构最适合控制UV可写浮动节点；确定对参数变化（如温度和电源变化）的消零效果如何；并开发实现Hopfield式神经网络所需的电路和布局。侦探他之前在标准CMOS集成电路中使用紫外光在多晶硅门上设置电压的工作为他的进步奠定了坚实的基础。
