          Abstract

          Atomic layer deposited (ALD) HfO 2/Al 2O 3/HfO 2 tri-layer resistive random access memory (RRAM) structure has been studied with a transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) transparent electrode. Highly stable and reliable multilevel conductance can be controlled by the set current compliance and reset stop voltage in bipolar resistive switching. Improved gradual resistive switching was achieved because of the interdiffusion in the HfO 2/Al 2O 3 interface where tri-valent Al incorporates with HfO 2 and produces HfAlO. The uniformity in bipolar resistive switching with I on/I off ratio (>10) and excellent endurance up to >10 3 cycles was achieved. Multilevel conductance levels in potentiation/depression were realized with constant amplitude pulse train and increasing pulse amplitude. Thus, tri-layer structure-based RRAM can be a potential candidate for the synaptic device in neuromorphic computing.

            A low energy oxide-based electronic synaptic device for neuromorphic visual systems with tolerance to device variation.

            Neuromorphic computing is an emerging computing paradigm beyond the conventional digital von Neumann computation. An oxide-based resistive switching memory is engineered to emulate synaptic devices. At the device level, the gradual resistance modulation is characterized by hundreds of identical pulses, achieving a low energy consumption of less than 1 pJ per spike. Furthermore, a stochastic compact model is developed to quantify the device switching dynamics and variation. At system level, the performance of an artificial visual system on the image orientation or edge detection with 16 348 oxide-based synaptic devices is simulated, successfully demonstrating a key feature of neuromorphic computing: tolerance to device variation.

              Activity-Dependent Synaptic Plasticity of a Chalcogenide Electronic Synapse for Neuromorphic Systems

              Nanoscale inorganic electronic synapses or synaptic devices, which are capable of emulating the functions of biological synapses of brain neuronal systems, are regarded as the basic building blocks for beyond-Von Neumann computing architecture, combining information storage and processing. Here, we demonstrate a Ag/AgInSbTe/Ag structure for chalcogenide memristor-based electronic synapses. The memristive characteristics with reproducible gradual resistance tuning are utilised to mimic the activity-dependent synaptic plasticity that serves as the basis of memory and learning. Bidirectional long-term Hebbian plasticity modulation is implemented by the coactivity of pre- and postsynaptic spikes, and the sign and degree are affected by assorted factors including the temporal difference, spike rate and voltage. Moreover, synaptic saturation is observed to be an adjustment of Hebbian rules to stabilise the growth of synaptic weights. Our results may contribute to the development of highly functional plastic electronic synapses and the further construction of next-generation parallel neuromorphic computing architecture.
