Dedicated hardware for the AI algorithm is necessary for lower power consumption. Most of the conventional neuron circuits have used capacitors, which have hindered the scale-down of the neuron circuits. In this paper, the thermal degree of freedom in the phase transition material VO2 is exploited for the capacitor-less neuron circuits. The autonomous operation of the capacitor-less neuron circuit is also demonstrated.
