Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microelectronic devices, and more specifically, relates to a volatile and non-volatile Cu x O memristor and its regulation method, the memristor can induce Cu vacancies to form clusters and conductive filaments by limiting the current, and realize the transition between volatile and nonvolatile devices, which can be used for neuromorphic computing and artificial synapse realization. Background technique [0002] Volatile threshold transition (TS) and non-volatile resistance transition (MS) are two typical responses of memristors to voltage. The threshold transition behavior of loss is used in circuit switches and analog neurons because of its nonlinear resistance change; in the construction of artificial neural networks, which are currently researched hotly, both volatile and non-volatile memristors are relied on. If volatile and non-volatile properties can be realized in the same memristive device, it w...
