Project description:In this study, we investigated the synaptic functions of TiN/Ti/TiO2/SiOx/Si resistive random access memory for a neuromorphic computing system that can act as a substitute for the von-Neumann computing architecture. To process the data efficiently, it is necessary to coordinate the information that needs to be processed with short-term memory. In neural networks, short-term memory can play the role of retaining the response on temporary spikes for information filtering. In this study, the proposed complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible synaptic device mimics the potentiation and depression with varying pulse conditions similar to biological synapses in the nervous system. Short-term memory dynamics are demonstrated through pulse modulation at a set pulse voltage of -3.5 V and pulse width of 10 ms and paired-pulsed facilitation. Moreover, spike-timing-dependent plasticity with the change in synaptic weight is performed by the time difference between the pre- and postsynaptic neurons. The SiOx layer as a tunnel barrier on a Si substrate provides highly nonlinear current-voltage (I-V) characteristics in a low-resistance state, which is suitable for high-density synapse arrays. The results herein presented confirm the viability of implementing a CMOS-compatible neuromorphic chip.

Project description:This study investigates the preparation and electrical properties of Al/cobalt-embedded gelatin (CoG)/ indium tin oxide (ITO) resistive switching memories. Co. elements can be uniformly distributed in gelatin without a conventional dispersion procedure, as confirmed through energy dispersive X-ray analyzer and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy observations. With an appropriate Co. concentration, Co. ions can assist the formation of an interfacial AlOx layer and improve the memory properties. High ON/OFF ratio, good retention capability, and good endurance switching cycles are demonstrated with 1 M Co. concentration, in contrast to 0.5 M and 2 M memory devices. This result can be attributed to the suitable thickness of the interfacial AlOx layer, which acts as an oxygen reservoir and stores and releases oxygen during switching. The Co. element in a solution-processed gelatin matrix has high potential for bio-electronic applications.

Project description:Bio - molecules detection and their quantification with a high precision is essential in modern era of medical diagnostics. In this context, the memristor device which can change its resistance state is a promising technique to sense the bio - molecules. In this work, detection of the Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) protein using resistive switching memristors based on TiO2 and TiO2?+?graphene oxide (GO) is explored. The sensitivity of BSA detection is found to be 4?mg/mL. Both the devices show an excellent bipolar resistive switching with an on/off ratio of 73 and 100 respectively, which essentially demonstrates that the device with GO, distinguishes the resistance states with a high precision. The enhanced performance in the GO inserted device (~?650 cycles) is attributed to the prevention of multi-dimensional and random growth of conductive paths.

Project description:The optoelectronic resistive random-access memory (RRAM) with the integrated function of perception, storage and intrinsic randomness displays promising applications in the hardware level in-sensor image cryptography. In this work, 2D hexagonal boron nitride based optoelectronic RRAM is fabricated with semitransparent noble metal (Ag or Au) as top electrodes, which can simultaneous capture color image and generate physically unclonable function (PUF) key for in-sensor color image cryptography. Surface plasmons of noble metals enable the strong light absorption to realize an efficient modulation of filament growth at nanoscale. Resistive switching curves show that the optical stimuli can impede the filament aggregation and promote the filament annihilation, which originates from photothermal effects and photogenerated hot electrons in localized surface plasmon resonance of noble metals. By selecting noble metals, the optoelectronic RRAM array can respond to distinct wavelengths and mimic the biological dichromatic cone cells to perform the color perception. Due to the intrinsic and high-quality randomness, the optoelectronic RRAM can produce a PUF key in every exposure cycle, which can be applied in the reconfigurable cryptography. The findings demonstrate an effective strategy to build optoelectronic RRAM for in-sensor color image cryptography applications.

Project description:The bipolar resistive switching of molybdenum oxide is deliberated while molybdenum and nickel are used as bottom and top electrodes, respectively, to present a device with resistive random access memory (RRAM) characteristics. For the trilayered structure, the SET voltage lies around 3.3 V and RESET voltage is observed to be in the -2.3 V to -2.7 V range. The conduction mechanism has been observed and revealed for the Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM) structure which is a space-charge-limited current mechanism that follows both ohmic conduction and Child's law. Furthermore, a theoretical study has been performed by using density functional theory (DFT) to evaluate the resistance switching role of molybdenum oxide (MoO3). The structure has been studied with oxygen vacancy sites induced into the system which shows the reduction in bandgap, whereas an indirect bandgap of 1.9 eV and a direct bandgap of 3.1 eV are calculated for molybdenum oxide. Conclusively, the formation of a conduction filament which is fundamental for resistive switching has been explained through band structure and density of states per eV for oxygen vacancy structures of molybdenum oxide. The current work presents an in-depth understanding of the resistive switching mechanism involved in MoO3 based resistive random access memory devices for future data storage applications.

Project description:The intense development and study of resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices has opened a new era in semiconductor memory manufacturing. Resistive switching and carrier conduction inside RRAM films have become critical issues in recent years. Electron trapping/detrapping behavior is observed and investigated in the proposed contact resistive random access memory (CR-RAM) cell. Through the fitting of the space charge limiting current (SCLC) model, and analysis in terms of the random telegraph noise (RTN) model, the temperature-dependence of resistance levels and the high-temperature data retention behavior of the contact RRAM film are successfully and completely explained. Detail analyses of the electron capture and emission from the traps by forward and reverse read measurements provide further verifications for hopping conduction mechanism and current fluctuation discrepancies.

Project description:We report a new type of sustained and reversible unipolar resistive switching in a nanowire device made from a single strand of Cu:7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (Cu:TCNQ) nanowire (diameter <100 nm) that shows high ON/OFF ratio (~10(3)), low threshold voltage of switching (~3.5 V) and large cycling endurance (>10(3)). This indicates a promising material for high density resistive random access memory (ReRAM) device integration. Switching is observed in Cu:TCNQ single nanowire devices with two different electrode configuration: symmetric (C-Pt/Cu:TCNQ/C-Pt) and asymmetric (Cu/Cu:TCNQ/C-Pt), where contacts connecting the nanowire play an important role. This report also developed a method of separating out the electrode and material contributions in switching using metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) device model along with a direct 4-probe resistivity measurement of the nanowire in the OFF as well as ON state. The device model was followed by a phenomenological model of current transport through the nanowire device which shows that lowering of potential barrier at the contacts likely occur due to formation of Cu filaments in the interface between nanowire and contact electrodes. We obtain quantitative agreement of numerically analyzed results with the experimental switching data.

Project description:Organic-inorganic perovskite materials have attracted extensive attention for wide range of applications such as solar cells, photo detectors, and memory devices. However, the lack of stability in ambient condition prevented the perovskite materials from applying to practical applications. Here, we demonstrate resistive switching memory devices based on organic-inorganic perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3) that have been passivated using thin metal-oxide-layers. CH3NH3PbI3-based memory devices with a solution-processed ZnO passivation layer retain low-voltage operation and, on/off current ratio for more than 30 days in air. Passivation with atomic-layer-deposited (ALD) AlOx is also demonstrated. The resistive switching memory devices with an ALD AlOx passivation layer maintained reliable resistive switching for 30 d in ambient condition, but devices without the passivation layer degraded rapidly and did not show memory properties after 3 d. These results suggest that encapsulation with thin metal-oxide layers is easy and commercially-viable methods to fabricate practical memory devices, and has potential to realize memory devices with long-term stability and reliable, reproducible programmable memory characteristics.

Project description:In an era of rapidly evolving artificial intelligence and 5G communications technologies, massive data storage and processing are required for the real-time operation of digital processors in conventional wearable devices. However, classical von-Neumann architecture computers are limited by bottleneck-related issues. As a solution, resistive random-access memory (RRAM) devices are being considered as next generation in-memory computing devices. Among various materials, a polydopamine (PDA) is an attractive candidate for the fabrication of wearable and flexible RRAM devices. Herein, an aluminum/PDA/aluminum structure is proposed to investigate the influence of the PDA layer on resistive switching. The resistance-switching characteristics of an Al/PDA/Al structure are investigated by changing the PDA's coating time and an on/off ratio of 2.48 × 103 is recorded. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals the presence of an Al2O3 layer in Al/PDA/Al structure, and the contents of oxygen vacancies are changed according to PDA coating time. Conductive filaments in the PDA/Al structure are confirmed by conductive atomic-force microscopy. As an application, a flexible Al/PDA/Al structure is fabricated using polyethylene terephthalate substrate and its operation is successfully confirmed. These results describe the resistive-switching characteristics, including oxygen vacancies, of Al/PDA/Al structures and provide new ways of understanding the resistive-switching mechanism of PDA-based RRAM devices.

Project description:Controlling the electronic properties of oxides that feature a metal-insulator transition (MIT) is a key requirement for developing a new class of electronics often referred to as "Mottronics." A simple, controllable method to switch the MIT properties in real time is needed for practical applications. Here we report a giant, nonvolatile resistive switching (ΔR/R > 1,000%) and strong modulation of the MIT temperature (ΔTc > 30 K) in a voltage-actuated V2O3/PMN-PT [Pb(Mg,Nb)O3-PbTiO3] heterostructure. This resistive switching is an order of magnitude larger than ever encountered in any other similar systems. The control of the V2O3 electronic properties is achieved using the transfer of switchable ferroelastic strain from the PMN-PT substrate into the epitaxially grown V2O3 film. Strain can reversibly promote/hinder the structural phase transition in the V2O3, thus advancing/suppressing the associated MIT. The giant resistive switching and strong Tc modulation could enable practical implementations of voltage-controlled Mott devices and provide a platform for exploring fundamental electronic properties of V2O3.
