- Abstract
- Although vertical configurations for high-density storage require challenging process steps, such as etching high aspect ratios and atomic layer deposition (ALD), they are more affordable with a relatively simple lithography process and have been employed in many studies. Herein, the potential of memristors with CMOS-compatible 3D vertical stacked structures of Pt/Ti/HfOx/TiN-NCs/HfOx/TiN is examined for use in neuromorphic systems. The electrical characteristics (including I-V properties, retention, and endurance) were investigated for both planar single cells and vertical resistive random-access memory (VRRAM) cells at each layer, demonstrating their outstanding non-volatile memory capabilities. In addition, various synaptic functions (including potentiation and depression) under different pulse schemes, excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC), and spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) were investigated. In pattern recognition simulations, an improved recognition rate was achieved by the linearly changing conductance, which was enhanced by the incremental pulse scheme. The achieved results demonstrated the feasibility of employing VRRAM with TiN nanocrystals in neuromorphic systems that resemble the human brain. © 2023 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
