In-Memory-Computing Realization with a Photodiode/Memristor Based Vision Sensor.

ABSTRACT: State-of-the-art IoT technologies request novel design solutions in edge computing, resulting in even more portable and energy-efficient hardware for in-the-field processing tasks. Vision sensors, processors, and hardware accelerators are among the most demanding IoT applications. Resistance switching (RS) two-terminal devices are suitable for resistive RAMs (RRAM), a promising technology to realize storage class memories. Furthermore, due to their memristive nature, RRAMs are appropriate candidates for in-memory computing architectures. Recently, we demonstrated a CMOS compatible silicon nitride (SiN_x) MIS RS device with memristive properties. In this paper, a report on a new photodiode-based vision sensor architecture with in-memory computing capability, relying on memristive device, is disclosed. In this context, the resistance switching dynamics of our memristive device were measured and a data-fitted behavioral model was extracted. SPICE simulations were made highlighting the in-memory computing capabilities of the proposed photodiode-one memristor pixel vision sensor. Finally, an integration and manufacturing perspective was discussed.

Integrated In-Memory Sensor and Computing of Artificial Vision Based on Full-vdW Optoelectronic Ferroelectric Field-Effect Transistor.

Project description:The development and application of artificial intelligence have led to the exploitation of low-power and compact intelligent information-processing systems integrated with sensing, memory, and neuromorphic computing functions. The 2D van der Waals (vdW) materials with abundant reservoirs for arbitrary stacking based on functions and enabling continued device downscaling offer an attractive alternative for continuously promoting artificial intelligence. In this study, full 2D SnS2 /h-BN/CuInP2 S6 (CIPS)-based ferroelectric field-effect transistors (Fe-FETs) and utilized light-induced ferroelectric polarization reversal to achieve excellent memory properties and multi-functional sensing-memory-computing vision simulations are designed. The device exhibits a high on/off current ratio of over 105 , long retention time (>104 s), stable cyclic endurance (>350 cycles), and 128 multilevel current states (7-bit). In addition, fundamental synaptic plasticity characteristics are emulated including paired-pulse facilitation (PPF), short-term plasticity (STP), long-term plasticity (LTP), long-term potentiation, and long-term depression. A ferroelectric optoelectronic reservoir computing system for the Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology (MNIST) handwritten digital recognition achieved a high accuracy of 93.62%. Furthermore, retina-like light adaptation and Pavlovian conditioning are successfully mimicked. These results provide a strategy for developing a multilevel memory and novel neuromorphic vision systems with integrated sensing-memory-processing.

90% yield production of polymer nano-memristor for in-memory computing.

Project description:Polymer memristors with light weight and mechanical flexibility are preeminent candidates for low-power edge computing paradigms. However, the structural inhomogeneity of most polymers usually leads to random resistive switching characteristics, which lowers the production yield and reliability of nanoscale devices. In this contribution, we report that by adopting the two-dimensional conjugation strategy, a record high 90% production yield of polymer memristors has been achieved with miniaturization and low power potentials. By constructing coplanar macromolecules with 2D conjugated thiophene derivatives to enhance the π-π stacking and crystallinity of the thin film, homogeneous switching takes place across the entire polymer layer, with fast responses in 32 ns, D2D variation down to 3.16% ~ 8.29%, production yield approaching 90%, and scalability into 100 nm scale with tiny power consumption of ~ 10-15 J/bit. The polymer memristor array is capable of acting as both the arithmetic-logic element and multiply-accumulate accelerator for neuromorphic computing tasks.

In response, in-memory computing has emerged as a promising alternative architecture, enabling computing operations within memory arrays to overcome these limitations. Memristive devices have gained significant attention as key components for in-memory computing due to their high-density arrays, rapid response times, and ability to emulate biological synapses. Among these devices, two-dimensional (2D) material-based memristor and memtransistor arrays have emerged as particularly promising candidates for next-generation in-memory computing, thanks to their exceptional performance driven by the unique properties of 2D materials, such as layered structures, mechanical flexibility, and the capability to form heterojunctions.

Dynamic memristor-based reservoir computing for high-efficiency temporal signal processing.

Project description:Reservoir computing is a highly efficient network for processing temporal signals due to its low training cost compared to standard recurrent neural networks, and generating rich reservoir states is critical in the hardware implementation. In this work, we report a parallel dynamic memristor-based reservoir computing system by applying a controllable mask process, in which the critical parameters, including state richness, feedback strength and input scaling, can be tuned by changing the mask length and the range of input signal. Our system achieves a low word error rate of 0.4% in the spoken-digit recognition and low normalized root mean square error of 0.046 in the time-series prediction of the Hénon map, which outperforms most existing hardware-based reservoir computing systems and also software-based one in the Hénon map prediction task. Our work could pave the road towards high-efficiency memristor-based reservoir computing systems to handle more complex temporal tasks in the future.

In-sensor reservoir computing system for latent fingerprint recognition with deep ultraviolet photo-synapses and memristor array.

Project description:Detection and recognition of latent fingerprints play crucial roles in identification and security. However, the separation of sensor, memory, and processor in conventional ex-situ fingerprint recognition system seriously deteriorates the latency of decision-making and inevitably increases the overall computing power. In this work, a photoelectronic reservoir computing (RC) system, consisting of DUV photo-synapses and nonvolatile memristor array, is developed to detect and recognize the latent fingerprint with in-sensor and parallel in-memory computing. Through the Ga-rich design, we achieve amorphous GaOx (a-GaOx) photo-synapses with an enhanced persistent photoconductivity (PPC) effect. The PPC effect, which induces nonlinearly tunable conductivity, renders the a-GaOx photo-synapses an ideal deep ultraviolet (DUV) photoelectronic reservoir, thus mapping the complex input vector into a dimensionality-reduced output vector. Connecting the reservoirs and a memristor array, we further construct an in-sensor RC system for latent fingerprint identification. The system maintains over 90% recognition accuracy for latent fingerprint within 15% stochastic noise level via the proposed dual-feature strategy. This work provides a subversive prototype system of DUV in-sensor RC for highly efficient recognition of latent fingerprints.

Optically driven intelligent computing with ZnO memristor.

Project description:Artificial vision is crucial for most artificial intelligence applications. Conventional artificial visual systems have been facing challenges in terms of real-time information processing due to the physical separation of sensors, memories, and processors, which results in the production of a large amount of redundant data as well as the data conversion and transfer between these three components consuming most of the time and energy. Emergent optoelectronic memristors with the ability to realize integrated sensing-computing-memory (ISCM) are key candidates for solving such challenges and therefore attract increasing attention. At present, the memristive ISCM devices can only perform primary-level computing with external light signals due to the fact that only monotonic increase of memconductance upon light irradiation is achieved in most of these devices. Here, we propose an all-optically controlled memristive ISCM device based on a simple structure of Au/ZnO/Pt with the ZnO thin film sputtered at pure Ar atmosphere. This device can perform advanced computing tasks such as nonvolatile neuromorphic computing and complete Boolean logic functions only by light irradiation, owing to its ability to reversibly tune the memconductance with light. Moreover, the device shows excellent operation stability ascribed to a purely electronic memconductance tuning mechanism. Hence, this study is an important step towards the next generation of artificial visual systems.

Volatile tin oxide memristor for neuromorphic computing.

Project description: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/SnOx/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.

Simulation platform for pattern recognition based on reservoir computing with memristor networks.

Project description:Memristive systems and devices are potentially available for implementing reservoir computing (RC) systems applied to pattern recognition. However, the computational ability of memristive RC systems depends on intertwined factors such as system architectures and physical properties of memristive elements, which complicates identifying the key factor for system performance. Here we develop a simulation platform for RC with memristor device networks, which enables testing different system designs for performance improvement. Numerical simulations show that the memristor-network-based RC systems can yield high computational performance comparable to that of state-of-the-art methods in three time series classification tasks. We demonstrate that the excellent and robust computation under device-to-device variability can be achieved by appropriately setting network structures, nonlinearity of memristors, and pre/post-processing, which increases the potential for reliable computation with unreliable component devices. Our results contribute to an establishment of a design guide for memristive reservoirs toward the realization of energy-efficient machine learning hardware.

Realization and training of an inverter-based printed neuromorphic computing system.

Project description:Emerging applications in soft robotics, wearables, smart consumer products or IoT-devices benefit from soft materials, flexible substrates in conjunction with electronic functionality. Due to high production costs and conformity restrictions, rigid silicon technologies do not meet application requirements in these new domains. However, whenever signal processing becomes too comprehensive, silicon technology must be used for the high-performance computing unit. At the same time, designing everything in flexible or printed electronics using conventional digital logic is not feasible yet due to the limitations of printed technologies in terms of performance, power and integration density. We propose to rather use the strengths of neuromorphic computing architectures consisting in their homogeneous topologies, few building blocks and analog signal processing to be mapped to an inkjet-printed hardware architecture. It has remained a challenge to demonstrate non-linear elements besides weighted aggregation. We demonstrate in this work printed hardware building blocks such as inverter-based comprehensive weight representation and resistive crossbars as well as printed transistor-based activation functions. In addition, we present a learning algorithm developed to train the proposed printed NCS architecture based on specific requirements and constraints of the technology.

Realization of palladium-based optomechanical cantilever hydrogen sensor.

Project description:Hydrogen has attracted attention as an alternative fuel source and as an energy storage medium. However, the flammability of hydrogen at low concentrations makes it a safety concern. Thus, gas concentration measurements are a vital safety issue. Here we present the experimental realization of a palladium thin film cantilever optomechanical hydrogen gas sensor. We measured the instantaneous shape of the cantilever to nanometer-level accuracy using diffraction phase microscopy. Thus, we were able to quantify changes in the curvature of the cantilever as a function of hydrogen concentration and observed that the sensor's minimum detection limit was well below the 250 p.p.m. limit of our test equipment. Using the change in curvature versus the hydrogen curve for calibration, we accurately determined the hydrogen concentrations for a random sequence of exposures. In addition, we calculated the change in film stress as a function of hydrogen concentration and observed a greater sensitivity at lower concentrations.
