ABSTRACT: The rise of neuromorphic systems has addressed the shortcomings of current computing architectures, especially regarding energy efficiency and scalability. These systems use cutting-edge technologies such as Pt/SnO_x/TiN memristors, which efficiently mimic synaptic behavior and provide potential solutions to modern computing challenges. Moreover, their unipolar resistive switching ability enables precise modulation of the synaptic weights, facilitating energy-efficient parallel processing that is similar to biological synapses. Additionally, memristors' spike-rate-dependent plasticity enhances the adaptability of neural circuits, offering promising applications in intelligent computing. Integrating memristors into edge computing architectures further highlights their importance in tackling the security and efficiency issues associated with conventional cloud computing models.

Volatile and Nonvolatile Programmable Iontronic Memristor with Lithium Imbued TiOx for Neuromorphic Computing Applications.

Project description:We demonstrate a lithium (Li) imbued TiOx iontronic device that exhibits synapse-like short-term plasticity behavior without requiring a forming process beforehand or a compliance current during switching. A solid-state electrolyte lithium phosphorus oxynitride (LiPON) behaves as the ion source, and the embedding and releasing of Li ions inside the cathodic like TiOx renders volatile conductance responses from the device and offers a natural platform for hardware simulating neuron functionalities. Besides, these devices possess high uniformity and great endurance as no conductive filaments are present. Different short-term pulse-based phenomena, including paired pulse facilitation, post-tetanic potentiation, and spike rate-dependent plasticity, were observed with self-relaxation characteristics. Based on the voltage excitation period, the time scale of the volatile memory can be tuned. Temperature measurement reveals the ion displacement-induced conductance channels become frozen below 220 K. In addition, the volatile analog devices can be configured into nonvolatile memory units with multibit storage capabilities after an electroforming process. Therefore, on the same platform, we can configure volatile units as nonlinear dynamic reservoirs for performing neuromorphic training and the nonvolatile units as the weight storage layer. We proceed to use voice recognition as an example with the tunable time constant relationship and obtain 94.4% accuracy with a minimal training data set. Thus, this iontronic platform can effectively process and update temporal information for reservoir and neuromorphic computing paradigms.

Experimental demonstration of highly reliable dynamic memristor for artificial neuron and neuromorphic computing.

Project description:Neuromorphic computing, a computing paradigm inspired by the human brain, enables energy-efficient and fast artificial neural networks. To process information, neuromorphic computing directly mimics the operation of biological neurons in a human brain. To effectively imitate biological neurons with electrical devices, memristor-based artificial neurons attract attention because of their simple structure, energy efficiency, and excellent scalability. However, memristor's non-reliability issues have been one of the main obstacles for the development of memristor-based artificial neurons and neuromorphic computings. Here, we show a memristor 1R cross-bar array without transistor devices for individual memristor access with low variation, 100% yield, large dynamic range, and fast speed for artificial neuron and neuromorphic computing. Based on the developed memristor, we experimentally demonstrate a memristor-based neuron with leaky-integrate and fire property with excellent reliability. Furthermore, we develop a neuro-memristive computing system based on the short-term memory effect of the developed memristor for efficient processing of sequential data. Our neuro-memristive computing system successfully trains and generates bio-medical sequential data (antimicrobial peptides) while using a small number of training parameters. Our results open up the possibility of memristor-based artificial neurons and neuromorphic computing systems, which are essential for energy-efficient edge computing devices.

Cluster-type analogue memristor by engineering redox dynamics for high-performance neuromorphic computing.

Project description:Memristors, or memristive devices, have attracted tremendous interest in neuromorphic hardware implementation. However, the high electric-field dependence in conventional filamentary memristors results in either digital-like conductance updates or gradual switching only in a limited dynamic range. Here, we address the switching parameter, the reduction probability of Ag cations in the switching medium, and ultimately demonstrate a cluster-type analogue memristor. Ti nanoclusters are embedded into densified amorphous Si for the following reasons: low standard reduction potential, thermodynamic miscibility with Si, and alloy formation with Ag. These Ti clusters effectively induce the electrochemical reduction activity of Ag cations and allow linear potentiation/depression in tandem with a large conductance range (~244) and long data retention (~99% at 1 hour). Moreover, according to the reduction potentials of incorporated metals (Pt, Ta, W, and Ti), the extent of linearity improvement is selectively tuneable. Image processing simulation proves that the Ti4.8%:a-Si device can fully function with high accuracy as an ideal synaptic model.

A Flexible Laser-Induced Graphene Memristor with Volatile Switching for Neuromorphic Applications.

Project description:Two-dimensional graphene and graphene-based materials are attracting increasing interest in neuromorphic computing applications by the implementation of memristive architectures that enable the closest solid-state equivalent to biological synapses and neurons. However, the state-of-the-art fabrication methodology involves routine use of high-temperature processes and multistepped chemical synthesis, often on a rigid substrate constraining the experimental exploration in the field to high-tech facilities. Here, we demonstrate the use of a one-step process using a commercial laser to fabricate laser-induced graphene (LIG) memristors directly on a flexible polyimide substrate. For the first time, a volatile resistive switching phenomenon is reported in the LIG without using any additional materials. The absence of any precursor or patterning mask greatly simplifies the process while reducing the cost and providing greater controllability. The fabricated memristors show multilevel resistance-switching characteristics with high endurance and tunable timing characteristics. The recovery time and the trigger pulse-dependent state change are shown to be highly suitable for its use as a synaptic element and in the realization of leaky-integrate and fire neuron in neuromorphic circuits.

Synaptic Plasticity and Quantized Conductance States in TiN-Nanoparticles-Based Memristor for Neuromorphic System.

Project description:Controlled conductive filament formation in the resistive random access memory device is an essential requirement for analog resistive switching to develop artificial synapses. In this work, we have studied Au/Ti/HfAlOx/TiN-NP/HfAlOx/ITO RRAM device to demonstrate conductance quantization behavior to achieve the high-density memory application. Stepwise change in conductance under DC and pulse voltage confirms the quantized conductance states with integer and half-integer multiples of G0. Reactive TiN-NPs inside the switching layer helps to form and rupture the atomic scale conductive filaments due to enhancing the local electric field inside. Bipolar resistive switching characteristics at low SET/RESET voltage were obtained with memory window > 10 and stable endurance of 103 cycles. Short-term and long-term plasticities are successfully demonstrated by modulating the pre-spike number, magnitude, and frequency. The quantized conductance behavior with promising synaptic properties obtained in the experiments suggests HfAlOx/TiN-NP/HfAlOx switching layer is suitable for multilevel high-density storage RRAM devices.

Sputtering-deposited amorphous SrVOx-based memristor for use in neuromorphic computing.

Project description:The development of brain-inspired neuromorphic computing, including artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, is of considerable importance because of the rapid growth in hardware and software capacities, which allows for the efficient handling of big data. Devices for neuromorphic computing must satisfy basic requirements such as multilevel states, high operating speeds, low energy consumption, and sufficient endurance, retention and linearity. In this study, inorganic perovskite-type amorphous strontium vanadate (a-SrVOx: a-SVO) synthesized at room temperature is utilized to produce a high-performance memristor that demonstrates nonvolatile multilevel resistive switching and synaptic characteristics. Analysis of the electrical characteristics indicates that the a-SVO memristor illustrates typical bipolar resistive switching behavior. Multilevel resistance states are also observed in the off-to-on and on-to-off transition processes. The retention resistance of the a-SVO memristor is shown to not significantly change for a period of 2 × 104 s. The conduction mechanism operating within the Ag/a-SVO/Pt memristor is ascribed to the formation of Ag-based filaments. Nonlinear neural network simulations are also conducted to evaluate the synaptic behavior. These results demonstrate that a-SVO-based memristors hold great promise for use in high-performance neuromorphic computing devices.

Superlow Power Consumption Artificial Synapses Based on WSe2 Quantum Dots Memristor for Neuromorphic Computing

Project description:As the emerging member of zero-dimension transition metal dichalcogenide, WSe2 quantum dots (QDs) have been applied to memristors and exhibited better resistance switching characteristics and miniaturization size. However, low power consumption and high reliability are still challenges for WSe2 QDs-based memristors as synaptic devices. Here, we demonstrate a high-performance, superlow power consumption memristor device with the structure of Ag/WSe2 QDs/La0.3Sr0.7MnO3/SrTiO3. The device displays excellent resistive switching memory behavior with a ROFF/RON ratio of ~5 × 103, power consumption per switching as low as 0.16 nW, very low set, and reset voltage of ~0.52 V and~ -0.19 V with excellent cycling stability, good reproducibility, and decent data retention capability. The superlow power consumption characteristic of the device is further proved by the method of density functional theory calculation. In addition, the influence of pulse amplitude, duration, and interval was studied to gradually modulating the conductance of the device. The memristor has also been demonstrated to simulate different functions of artificial synapses, such as excitatory postsynaptic current, spike timing-dependent plasticity, long-term potentiation, long-term depression, and paired-pulse facilitation. Importantly, digit recognition ability based on the WSe2 QDs device is evaluated through a three-layer artificial neural network, and the digit recognition accuracy after 40 times of training can reach up to 94.05%. This study paves a new way for the development of memristor devices with advanced significance for future low power neuromorphic computing.

TiN/Ti/HfO2/TiN memristive devices for neuromorphic computing: from synaptic plasticity to stochastic resonance.

Project description:We characterize TiN/Ti/HfO2/TiN memristive devices for neuromorphic computing. We analyze different features that allow the devices to mimic biological synapses and present the models to reproduce analytically some of the data measured. In particular, we have measured the spike timing dependent plasticity behavior in our devices and later on we have modeled it. The spike timing dependent plasticity model was implemented as the learning rule of a spiking neural network that was trained to recognize the MNIST dataset. Variability is implemented and its influence on the network recognition accuracy is considered accounting for the number of neurons in the network and the number of training epochs. Finally, stochastic resonance is studied as another synaptic feature. It is shown that this effect is important and greatly depends on the noise statistical characteristics.

Ligand-Triggered Self-Assembly of Flexible Carbon Dot Nanoribbons for Optoelectronic Memristor Devices and Neuromorphic Computing.

Project description:Carbon dots (CDs) are widely utilized in sensing, energy storage, and catalysis due to their excellent optical, electrical and semiconducting properties. However, attempts to optimize their optoelectronic performance through high-order manipulation have met with little success to date. In this study, through efficient packing of individual CDs in two-dimensions, the synthesis of flexible CDs ribbons is demonstrated technically. Electron microscopies and molecular dynamics simulations, show the assembly of CDs into ribbons results from the tripartite balance of π-π attractions, hydrogen bonding, and halogen bonding forces provided by the superficial ligands. The obtained ribbons are flexible and show excellent stability against UV irradiation and heating. CDs ribbons offer outstanding performance as active layer material in transparent flexible memristors, with the developed devices providing excellent data storage, retention capabilities, and fast optoelectronic responses. A memristor device with a thickness of 8 µm shows good data retention capability even after 104 cycles of bending. Furthermore, the device functions effectively as a neuromorphic computing system with integrated storage and computation capabilities, with the response speed of the device being less than 5.5 ns. These properties create an optoelectronic memristor with rapid Chinese character learning capability. This work lays the foundation for wearable artificial intelligence.

Unique Coexistence of Two Resistive Switching Modes in a Memristor Device Enables Multifunctional Neuromorphic Computing Properties.

Project description:We report on hybrid memristor devices consisting of germanium dioxide nanoparticles (GeO2 NP) embedded within a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) thin film. Besides exhibiting forming-free resistive switching and an uncommon "ON" state in pristine conditions, the hybrid (nanocomposite) devices demonstrate a unique form of mixed-mode switching. The observed stopping voltage-dependent switching enables state-of-the-art bifunctional synaptic behavior with short-term (volatile/temporal) and long-term (nonvolatile/nontemporal) modes that are switchable depending on the stopping voltage applied. The short-term memory mode device is demonstrated to further emulate important synaptic functions such as short-term potentiation (STP), short-term depression (STD), paired-pulse facilitation (PPF), post-tetanic potentiation (PTP), spike-voltage-dependent plasticity (SVDP), spike-duration-dependent plasticity (SDDP), and, more importantly, the "learning-forgetting-rehearsal" behavior. The long-term memory mode gives additional long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) characteristics for long-term plasticity applications. The work shows a unique coexistence of the two resistive switching modes, providing greater flexibility in device design for future adaptive and reconfigurable neuromorphic computing systems at the hardware level.
