Abstract

An information processing device having neural network functions for performing information processing includes a semiconductor integrated circuit section including a plurality of neuronic circuit regions having a neuronic function which is one of the neural network functions, and first and second molecular films provided on the integrated circuit section. The first molecular film has a photoelectric function and the second molecular film has a light-emitting function. Coupling between the plurality of neurons is realized through a combination of the light-emitting and light-receiving functions of the first and second molecular films.
