3D monolithic integration of logic and memory has been the most sought after solution to surpass the Von Neumann bottleneck, for which a low-temperature processed material system becomes inevitable. Two-dimensional materials, with their excellent electrical properties and low thermal budget are potential candidates. Here, we demonstrate a low-temperature hybrid co-integration of one-transistor-one-resistor memory cell, comprising a surface functionalized 2D WSe2
p-FET, with a solution-processed WSe2 Resistive Random Access Memory. The employed plasma oxidation technique results in a low Schottky barrier height of 25 meV with a mobility of 230 cm2 V−1 s−1, leading to a 100x performance enhanced WSe2
p-FET, while the defective WSe2 Resistive Random Access Memory exhibits a switching energy of 2.6 pJ per bit. Furthermore, guided by our device-circuit modelling, we propose vertically stacked channel FETs for high-density sub-0.01 μm2 memory cells, offering a new beyond-Si solution to enable 3-D embedded memories for future computing systems.
Realization of high-density and reliable resistive random access memories based on two-dimensional semiconductors is crucial toward their development in next-generation information storage and neuromorphic computing. Here, wafer-scale integration of solution-processed two-dimensional MoS2 memristor arrays are reported. The MoS2 memristors achieve excellent endurance, long memory retention, low device variations, and high analog on/off ratio with linear conductance update characteristics. The two-dimensional nanosheets appear to enable a unique way to modulate switching characteristics through the inter-flake sulfur vacancies diffusion, which can be controlled by the flake size distribution. Furthermore, the MNIST handwritten digits recognition shows that the MoS2 memristors can operate with a high accuracy of >98.02%, which demonstrates its feasibility for future analog memory applications. Finally, a monolithic three-dimensional memory cube has been demonstrated by stacking the two-dimensional MoS2 layers, paving the way for the implementation of two memristor into high-density neuromorphic computing system.
