Unravelling the Data Retention Mechanisms under Thermal Stress on 2D Memristors.

ABSTRACT: Memristors based on two-dimensional (2D) materials are a rapidly growing research area due to their potential in energy-efficient in-memory processing and neuromorphic computing. However, the data retention of these emerging memristors remains sparsely investigated, despite its crucial importance to device performance and reliability. In this study, we employ kinetic Monte-Carlo simulations to investigate the data retention of a 2D planar memristor. The operation of the memristor depends on field-driven on defect migration, while thermal diffusion gradually evens the defect distribution, leading to the degradation of the high resistance state (HRS) and diminishing the ON/OFF ratio. Notably, we examine the resilience of devices based on single crystals of transition metal dichalcogenides (T
