Tuning memory windows is vital for cross-bar memory architectures
with low power and free cross-talk. Herein, we demonstrate a synergistic
interface/electrode nanoengineering strategy to tune memory windows
for low power operation and enhanced electrical readout in polymer
devices; this approach is workable for most insulating or semiconducting
polymeric mediums. Through customizing the resistivity of selectively
reduced graphene oxide nanoelectrodes, an inherent sub μA current
is recorded in the programming storage state. The nanocavity of the
polymer interface can reduce the switching voltage due to local electric
field enhancement, thus leading to tunable memory windows. By stacking
a selector onto the memory, the vertical architecture features dynamic
memory kinetics, enabling cross-talk-free readout by suppressing sneak
leakage current paths.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
