电压幅值调控Ag/AZO/MnO2/FTO忆阻器阻变行为的演化

Voltage-amplitude controlled evolution of resistive switching in Ag/AZO/MnO2/FTO memristor

  • 摘要: 单一模式的忆阻行为难以满足多功能集成电子器件的发展需求,因此在同一器件中实现模拟型与数字型忆阻效应的可控切换具有重要意义。本文制备了Ag/AZO/MnO2/FTO结构的忆阻器件,系统研究了工作电压幅值对其阻变行为的调控机制。实验结果表明,通过调控工作电压幅值,该器件的忆阻行为可由模拟型转变为数字型。在较低电压幅值下,器件呈现模拟型忆阻行为,其机制主要源于金属电极与功能层界面处肖特基势垒高度的调制;而在较高电压幅值下,器件表现出数字型阻变行为,其机制则由功能层内导电细丝的形成与断裂主导。该工作在同一器件中集成了肖特基势垒调制与导电细丝两种物理机制,实现了可切换的模拟-数字双模式阻变行为。本研究为多模式忆阻器的发展提供了新思路,并为构建兼具模拟突触可塑性与数字开关行为的混合型电子器件奠定了硬件基础。

     

    Abstract: The exponential growth of big data and the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence have imposed unprecedented demands on computing performance. However, the conventional von Neumann architecture, characterized by the physical separation of memory and processing units, has become a critical bottleneck, primarily due to the "memory wall" constraint. Memristors, which offer high read/write speeds and low power consumption, are widely regarded as promising candidates for next-generation non-volatile memory. Nevertheless, a single mode of memristive behavior cannot satisfy the diverse requirements of multifunctional integrated electronic devices. Therefore, achieving controllable switching between analog and digital memristive effects within a single device is of considerable importance. In this work, an Ag/AZO/MnO2/FTO memristive device was fabricated, and the modulation of its resistive switching characteristics was investigated by varying the voltage amplitude. The results reveal that increasing the amplitude induces a transition from analog to digital memristive behavior. At low voltage amplitudes, the device exhibits analog resistive switching, which originates from the modulation of the Schottky barrier height at the metal/functional-layer interface. In contrast, at high voltage amplitudes, the device switches to digital memristive behavior, dominated by the formation and rupture of conductive filaments within the functional layer. Thus, this device integrates both Schottky barrier modulation and conductive filament dynamics, thereby demonstrating switchable analog and digital resistive switching characteristics. This work provides new insights into the development of multimode memristors and establishes a hardware platform for hybrid electronic devices that combine analog synaptic plasticity with digital switching behavior.
