Timing Selector: Using Transient Switching Dynamics to Solve the Sneak Path Issue of Crossbar Arrays.

ABSTRACT: Sneak path current is a fundamental issue and a major roadblock to the wide application of memristor crossbar arrays. Traditional selectors such as transistors compromise the 2D scalability and 3D stack-ability of the array, while emerging selectors with highly nonlinear current-voltage relations contradict the requirement of a linear current-voltage relation for efficient multiplication by directly using Ohm's law. Herein, the concept of a timing selector is proposed and demonstrated, which addresses the sneak path issue with a voltage-dependent delay time of its transient switching behavior, while preserving a linear current-voltage relationship for computation. Crossbar arrays with silver-based diffusive memristors as the timing selectors are built and the operation principle and operat
