A large memory window and low power consumption self-rectifying
memristor for electronic synapse
Abstract
Self-rectifying memristor has no need for selector devices, but possess
the one-way transmission behavior and multi-level non-volatile memory
characteristics, which makes it promising candidate for electronic
synapse. In this letter, we propose a novel self-rectifying memristor
based on Pt/Hf0.5Zr0.5O2/TiN structure. The devices show large memory
window (104) and high rectifying ratio (104), which can block the sneak
current in passive crossbar array without any additional hardware
overhead. Moreover, the devices demonstrate excellent multi-level states
modulation capability, low power consumption, high endurance and long
retention. The final benchmark demonstrates that the proposed
Pt/Hf0.5Zr0.5O2/TiN self-rectifying memristor is a promising candidate
for electronic synapse application.
