摘要：Exponential growth of the semiconductor industry, historically driven by transistor scaling, is now facing fundamental challenges. In this talk, I will discuss an emerging class of devices that, by merging electronic with ionics, offer the potential to control the materials’ electronic properties in-situ and have led to promising memory and circuit concepts. These devices exhibit history-dependent, resistive switching behavior and are termed memristors (memory + resistor) or resistive memory (RRAM) devices. I will discuss our efforts on the development and optimization of memristor devices and integrated systems, including techniques of controlling the dynamic ionic migration processes and associated modeling efforts. Functional high-density crossbar arrays have been integrated directly on top of CMOS circuits using a back-end-of-line (BEOL) process, enabling hybrid non-volatile memory and reconfigurable circuit applications. Properly tuned devices also exhibit incremental conductance changes that are analogous to the behaviors of biological synapses and are well suited for hardware-based, bio-inspired neuromorphic logic systems. Prototype neuromorphic circuits based on memristor arrays have been shown to be able to perform tasks such as pattern recognition and image analysis in an unsupervised fashion for intelligent sensing, analysis and other data-intensive applications.
