Memristors Using Solution-Based IGZO Nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Solution-based indium-gallium-zinc oxide (IGZO) nanoparticles deposited by spin coating have been investigated as a resistive switching layer in metal-insulator-metal structures for nonvolatile memory applications. Optimized devices show a bipolar resistive switching behavior, low programming voltages of ±1 V, on/off ratios higher than 10, high endurance, and a retention time of up to 10⁴ s. The better performing devices were achieved with annealing temperatures of 200 °C and using asymmetric electrode materials of titanium and silver. The physics behind the improved switching properties of the devices is discussed in terms of the oxygen deficiency of IGZO. Temperature analysis of the conductance states revealed a nonmetallic filamentary conduction. The presented devices are potential candidates for the integration of memory functionality into low-cost System-on-Panel technology.

Emergent solution based IGZO memristor towards neuromorphic applications.

Project description:Solution-based memristors are emergent devices, due to their potential in electrical performance for neuromorphic computing combined with simple and cheap fabrication processes. However, to achieve practical application in crossbar design tens to hundreds of uniform memristors are required. Regarding this, the production step optimization should be considered as the main objective to achieve high performance devices. In this work, solution-based indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) memristor devices are produced using a combustion synthesis process. The performance of the device is optimized by using different annealing temperatures and active layer thicknesses to reach a higher reproducibility and stability. All IGZO memristors show a low operating voltage, good endurance, and retention up to 105 s under air conditions. The optimized devices can be programmed in a multi-level cell operation mode, with 8 different resistive states. Also, preliminary results reveal synaptic behavior by replicating the plasticity of a synaptic junction through potentiation and depression; this is a significant step towards low-cost processes and large-scale compatibility of neuromorphic computing systems.

Inkjet printed IGZO memristors with volatile and non-volatile switching.

Project description:Solution-based memristors deposited by inkjet printing technique have a strong technological potential based on their scalability, low cost, environmentally friendlier processing by being an efficient technique with minimal material waste. Indium-gallium-zinc oxide (IGZO), an oxide semiconductor material, shows promising resistive switching properties. In this work, a printed Ag/IGZO/ITO memristor has been fabricated. The IGZO thickness influences both memory window and switching voltage of the devices. The devices show both volatile counter8wise (c8w) and non-volatile 8wise (8w) switching at low operating voltage. The 8w switching has a SET and RESET voltage lower than 2 V and - 5 V, respectively, a retention up to 105 s and a memory window up to 100, whereas the c8w switching shows volatile characteristics with a low threshold voltage (Vth < - 0.65 V) and a characteristic time (τ) of 0.75 ± 0.12 ms when a single pulse of - 0.65 V with width of 0.1 ms is applied. The characteristic time alters depending on the number of pulses. These volatile characteristics allowed them to be tested on different 4-bit pulse sequences, as an initial proof of concept for temporal signal processing applications.

Low-Temperature Solution-Based Molybdenum Oxide Memristors.

Project description:Solution-based memristors have gained significant attention in recent years due to their potential for the low-cost, scalable, and environmentally friendly fabrication of resistive switching devices. This study is focused on the fabrication and characterization of solution-based molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) memristors under different annealing temperatures (200 to 400 °C). A MoO3 ink recipe is developed using water as the main solvent, enabling a simplified and cost-effective fabrication process. Material analysis reveals the presence of a Mo6+ oxidation state and an amorphous structure in the films annealed up to 250 °C. Electrical tests confirm a bipolar resistive switching behavior in the memristors according to the valence change mechanism (VCM). Endurance tests demonstrate stable memristors, indicating their robust nature after multiple cycles. Memristors annealed at 250 °C exhibit a nonvolatile behavior with a retention time up to 105 s under ambient air conditions. The high reproducibility observed in these memristors highlights their potential for practical applications and scalability.

Tailoring IGZO Composition for Enhanced Fully Solution-Based Thin Film Transistors.

Project description:Solution-processed metal oxides have been investigated as an alternative to vacuum-based oxides to implement low-cost, high-performance electronic devices on flexible transparent substrates. However, their electrical properties need to be enhanced to apply at industrial scale. Amorphous indium-gallium-zinc oxide (a-IGZO) is the most-used transparent semiconductor metal oxide as an active channel layer in thin-film transistors (TFTs), due to its superior electrical properties. The present work evaluates the influence of composition, thickness and ageing on the electrical properties of solution a-IGZO TFTs, using solution combustion synthesis method, with urea as fuel. After optimizing the semiconductor properties, low-voltage TFTs were obtained by implementing a back-surface passivated 3-layer In:Ga:Zn 3:1:1 with a solution-processed high-к dielectric; AlOx. The devices show saturation mobility of 3.2 cm2 V-1 s-1, IOn/IOff of 106, SS of 73 mV dec-1 and VOn of 0.18 V, thus demonstrating promising features for low-cost circuit applications.

Effect of Post-Annealing on Barrier Modulations in Pd/IGZO/SiO2/p+-Si Memristors.

Project description:In this article, we study the post-annealing effect on the synaptic characteristics in Pd/IGZO/SiO2/p+-Si memristor devices. The O-H bond in IGZO films affects the switching characteristics that can be controlled by the annealing process. We propose a switching model based on using a native oxide as the Schottky barrier. The barrier height is extracted by the conduction mechanism of thermionic emission in samples with different annealing temperatures. Additionally, the change in conductance is explained by an energy band diagram including trap models. The activation energy is obtained by the depression curve of the samples with different annealing temperatures to better understand the switching mechanism. Moreover, our results reveal that the annealing temperature and retention can affect the linearity of potentiation and depression. Finally, we investigate the effect of the annealing temperature on the recognition rate of MNIST in the proposed neural network.

Transiently chaotic simulated annealing based on intrinsic nonlinearity of memristors for efficient solution of optimization problems.

Project description:Optimization problems are ubiquitous in scientific research, engineering, and daily lives. However, solving a complex optimization problem often requires excessive computing resource and time and faces challenges in easily getting trapped into local optima. Here, we propose a memristive optimizer hardware based on a Hopfield network, which introduces transient chaos to simulated annealing in aid of jumping out of the local optima while ensuring convergence. A single memristor crossbar is used to store the weight parameters of a fully connected Hopfield network and adjust the network dynamics in situ. Furthermore, we harness the intrinsic nonlinearity of memristors within the crossbar to implement an efficient and simplified annealing process for the optimization. Solutions of continuous function optimizations on sphere function and Matyas function as well as combinatorial optimization on Max-cut problem are experimentally demonstrated, indicating great potential of the transiently chaotic memristive network in solving optimization problems in general.

Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles-Solution-Based Synthesis and Characterizations.

Project description:Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles have shown great potential because of their versatile and promising applications in different fields, including solar cells. Various methods of synthesizing ZnO materials have been reported. In this work, controlled synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles was achieved via a simple, cost-effective, and facile synthetic method. Using transmittance spectra and film thickness of ZnO, the optical band gap energies were calculated. For as-synthesized and annealed ZnO films, the bandgap energies were found to be 3.40 eV and 3.30 eV, respectively. The nature of the optical transition indicates that the material is a direct bandgap semiconductor. Spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) analysis was used to extract dielectric functions where the onset of optical absorption of ZnO was observed at lower photon energy due to annealing of the nanoparticle film. Similarly, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) data revealed that the material is pure and crystalline in nature, with the average crystallite size of ~9 nm.

All Solution-Processed Inorganic, Multilevel Memristors Utilizing Liquid Metals Electrodes Suitable for Analog Computing.

Project description:Herein, we report a solution-processable memristive device based on bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) with gallium-based eutectic gallium-indium (EGaIn) and gallium-indium-tin alloy (GaInSn) liquid metal as the top electrode. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shows the formation of a nonporous structure of BiVO4 and TiO2 for efficient resistive switching. Additionally, the gallium-based liquid metal (GLM)-contacted memristors exhibit stable memristor behavior over a wide temperature range from -10 to +90 °C. Gallium atoms in the liquid metal play an important role in the conductive filament formation as well as the device's operation stability as elucidated by I-V characteristics. The synaptic behavior of the GLM-memristors was characterized, with excellent long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) linearity. Using the performance of our device in a multilayer perceptron (MLP) network, a ∼90% accuracy in the handwriting recognition of modified national institute of standards and technology database (MNIST) was achieved. Our findings pave a path for solution-processed/GLM-based memristors which can be used in neuromorphic applications on flexible substrates in a harsh environment.

A bioinspired configurable cochlea based on memristors.

Project description:Cochleas are the basis for biology to process and recognize speech information, emulating which with electronic devices helps us construct high-efficient intelligent voice systems. Memristor provides novel physics for performing neuromorphic engineering beyond complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology. This work presents an artificial cochlea based on the shallen-key filter model configured with memristors, in which one filter emulates one channel. We first fabricate a memristor with the TiN/HfOx/TaOx/TiN structure to implement such a cochlea and demonstrate the non-volatile multilevel states through electrical operations. Then, we build the shallen-key filter circuit and experimentally demonstrate the frequency-selection function of cochlea's five channels, whose central frequency is determined by the memristor's resistance. To further demonstrate the feasibility of the cochlea for system applications, we use it to extract the speech signal features and then combine it with a convolutional neural network to recognize the Free Spoken Digit Dataset. The recognition accuracy reaches 92% with 64 channels, compatible with the traditional 64 Fourier transform transformation points of mel-frequency cepstral coefficients method with 95% recognition accuracy. This work provides a novel strategy for building cochleas, which has a great potential to conduct configurable, high-parallel, and high-efficient auditory systems for neuromorphic robots.

Triphenylamine-Based Helical Polymer for Flexible Memristors.

Project description:Flexible nonvolatile memristors have potential applications in wearable devices. In this work, a helical polymer, poly (N, N-diphenylanline isocyanide) (PPIC), was synthesized as the active layer, and flexible electronic devices with an Al/PPIC/ITO architecture were prepared on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate. The device showed typical nonvolatile rewritable memristor characteristics. The high-molecular-weight helical structure stabilized the active layer under different bending degrees, bending times, and number of bending cycles. The memristor was further employed to simulate the information transmission capability of neural fibers, providing new perspectives for the development of flexible wearable memristors and biomimetic neural synapses. This demonstration highlights the promising possibilities for the advancement of artificial intelligence skin and intelligent flexible robots in the future.
