N2 - Spiking neuron models, which simplify the biological neuron function, have attracted much attention recently in the fields of computational neuroscience and artificial neural networks. In these models, generation of post-synaptic potentials (PSPs) is an essential function. In this paper, we propose a new nanodevice structure using a nanodisk array connected to a MOSFET for spiking neuron models. The structure generates PSPs by taking advantage of the delay in electron hopping movement among nanodisks. The results of single-electron circuit simulation demonstrate the controllability of PSP shapes by a control gate placed over the nanodisk array.
