Claim 4:
5. The low-power and compact neuron circuit implementing a rectified linear unit (ReLU) activation function according to claim 1, wherein a resistance value of a resistor connected in series between the neuron transistor and a next layer of array is denoted as R, and then

R=(Vg−Vth−Vd)/[β·Vd(Vg−Vth−0.5Vd)];

β=(μ·W·Cox)/L; 

where Vg is a gate voltage of the neuron transistor, Vth is a threshold voltage of the neuron transistor, Vd is a drain-source voltage of the neuron transistor, μ is a carrier mobility in a channel of the neuron transistor, W is a channel width of the neuron transistor, Cox is a gate oxygen capacitance value of the neuron transistor, and L is a channel length of the neuron transistor.
