    摘要: A neuron circuit (100), including a memristive element (M1), a trigger element (D1), a feedback element (T1) and an AND circuit (A1). The memristive element (M1) is used to receive an excitation signal. The trigger element (D1) is connected to the memristive element (M1) and is used to receive a clock control signal for the neuron circuit and an output signal of the memristive element (M1). The feedback element (T1) is connected to an output end of the trigger element (D1) and an input end of the memristive element (M1) and is used to control a voltage at the input end of the memristive element (M1). The AND circuit (A1) is used to perform an AND operation on an output signal of the trigger element (D1) and the clock control signal. An output signal of the AND circuit (A1) acts as an output signal of the neuron circuit (100).

    摘要: A gating device cell for a cross array of bipolar resistive memory cells comprises an n-p diode and a p-n diode, wherein the n-p diode and the p-n diode have opposite polarities and are connected in parallel, such that the gating device cell exhibits a bidirectional rectification feature. The gating device cell exhibits the bidirectional rectification feature, that is, it can provide a relatively high current density at any voltage polarity in its ON state, and also a relatively great rectification ratio (Rv/2/RV) under a read voltage. Therefore, it is possible to suppress read crosstalk in the cross array of bipolar resistive memory cells to avoid misreading, thereby solving the problem that a conventional rectifier diode is only applicable to a cross array of unipolar resistive memory cells.

    摘要: An operation method for integrating logic calculations and data storage based on a crossbar array structure of resistive switching devices. The calculation and storage functions of the method are based on the same hardware architecture, and the data storage is completed while performing calculation, thereby realizing the fusion of calculation and storage. The method includes applying a pulse sequence to a specified word line or bit line by a controller, configuring basic units of resistive switching devices to form different serial-parallel structures, such that three basic logic operations, i.e. NAND, OR, and COPY, are implemented and mutually combined on this basis, thereby implementing 16 types of binary Boolean logic and full addition operations, and on this basis, a method for implementing a parallel logic and full addition operations is provided.

    摘要: The present disclosure discloses a self-gated RRAM cell and a manufacturing method thereof; which belong to the field of microelectronic technology. The self-gated RRAM cell comprises: a stacked structure containing multiple layers of conductive lower electrodes; a vertical trench formed by etching the stacked structure; a M8XY6 gated layer formed on an inner wall and a bottom of the vertical trench; a resistance transition layer formed on a surface of the M8XY6, gated layer; and a conductive upper electrode formed on a surface of the resistance transition layer, the vertical trench being filled with the conductive upper electrode. The present disclosure is implemented on a basis of using the self-gated RRAM as a memory cell. It may not depend on a gated transistor and a diode, but relies on a non-linear variation characteristic of resistance of its own varied with voltage to achieve a self-gated function, which has a simple structure, easy integration, high density and low cost, capable of suppressing a reading crosstalk phenomenon in a cross array structure; and is also adapted for a planar stacked cross array structure and a vertical cross array structure, achieving 3D storage with a high density.

    摘要: A nonvolatile resistive switching memory, comprising an inert metal electrode, a resistive switching functional layer, and an easily oxidizable metal electrode, and characterized in that: a graphene barrier layer is inserted between the inert metal electrode and the resistive switching functional layer, which is capable of preventing the easily oxidizable metal ions from migrating into the inert metal electrode through the resistive switching functional layer under the action of electric field during the programming of the device. The manufacturing method therefore comprises adding a monolayer or multilayer graphene thin film between the inert electrode and the solid-state electrolyte resistive switching functional layer which services as a metal ion barrier layer to stop electrically-conductive metal filaments formed in the resistive switching layer from diffusing into the inert electrode layer during a RRAM device programming process, eliminating erroneous programming phenomenon occurring during the erasing process, improving device reliability.

    摘要: A nonvolatile resistive switching memory includes an inert metal electrode, a resistive switching functional layer, and an easily oxidizable metal electrode. A graphene intercalation layer with nanopores, interposed between the easily oxidizable metal electrode and the resistive switching functional layer, is capable of controlling the metal ions, which are formed by the oxidation of the easily oxidizable metal electrode during the programming of the device, and only enter into the resistive switching functional layer through the position of the nanopores. Further, the graphene intercalation layer with nanopores is capable of blocking the diffusion of the metal ions, making the metal ions, which are formed after the oxidation of the easily oxidizable metal electrode, enter into the resistive switching functional layer only through the position of the nanopores during the programming of the device, thereby controlling the growing position of conductive filament.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a conductive bridge semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same. The conductive bridge semiconductor device includes a lower electrode, a resistive switching functional layer, an ion barrier layer and an active upper electrode from bottom to top, wherein the ion barrier layer is provided with certain holes through which active conductive ions pass. Based on this structure, the precise designing of the holes on the barrier layer facilitates the modulation of the quantity, size and density of the conduction paths in the conductive bridge semiconductor device, which enables that the conductive bridge semiconductor device can be modulated to be a nonvolatile conductive bridge resistive random access memory or a volatile conductive bridge selector. Based on the above method, ultra-low power nonvolatile conductive bridge memory and high driving-current volatile conductive bridge selector with controllable polarity are completed.
