AbstractMemristors represent an intriguing two-terminal device strategy potentially able to replace conventional memory devices as well as to support neuromorphic computing architectures. Here, we present the resistive switching behaviour of the sustainable and low-cost biopolymer chitosan, which can be extracted from natural chitin present for instance in crab exoskeletons. The biopolymer films were doped with Ag ions in varying concentrations and sandwiched between a bottom electrode such as fluorinated-tin-oxide and a silver top electrode. Silver-doped devices showed an overall promising resistive switching behaviour for doping concentrations between 0.5 to 1 wt% AgNO3. As bottom electrode fluorinated-tin-oxide, nickel, silver and titanium were studied and multiple write and erase cycles were recorded. However, the overall reproducibility and stability are still insufficient to support broader applicability.

In this paper, emerging memory devices are investigated for a promising synaptic device of neuromorphic computing. Because the neuromorphic computing hardware requires high memory density, fast speed, and low power as well as a unique characteristic that simulates the function of learning by imitating the process of the human brain, memristor devices are considered as a promising candidate because of their desirable characteristic. Among them, Phase-change RAM (PRAM) Resistive RAM (ReRAM), Magnetic RAM (MRAM), and Atomic Switch Network (ASN) are selected to review. Even if the memristor devices show such characteristics, the inherent error by their physical properties needs to be resolved. This paper suggests adopting an approximate computing approach to deal with the error without degrading the advantages of emerging memory devices.

Microstructure of epitaxial ferroelectric/conductive oxide heterostructures on LaAIO3(LAO) and Si substrates have been studied by conventional and high resolution transmission electron microscopy. The epitaxial films have a wide range of potential applications in areas such as non-volatile memory devices, electro-optic devices and pyroelectric detectors. For applications such as electro-optic devices the films must be single crystal and for applications such as nonvolatile memory devices and pyroelectric devices single crystal films will enhance the performance of the devices. The ferroelectric films studied are Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3(PLZT), PbTiO3(PT), BiTiO3(BT) and Pb0.9La0.1(Zr0.2Ti0.8)0.975O3(PLZT).Electrical contact to ferroelectric films is commonly made with metals such as Pt. Metals generally have a large difference in work function compared to the work function of the ferroelectric oxides. This results in a Schottky barrier at the interface and the interfacial space charge is believed to responsible for domain pinning and degradation in the ferroelectric properties resulting in phenomenon such as fatigue.
