Abstract

The invention discloses a self-rectification memristor, a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the field of semiconductor devices. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) depositing an oxide resistive layer on the surface of a bottom electrode, wherein the oxide resistive layer is doped with at least one metal; and (2) depositing a top electrode made of a material different from that of the bottom electrode on the surface of the resistive layer to obtain the self-rectification memristor. The metal-doped oxide resistive layer is adopted, so that the energy band structure of the device is changed, the rectification performance of the device is improved, the sneak current effect in a large-scale crossbar switch array is inhibited, the integration degree of the array is greatly improved, and the power consumption of the array is greatly reduced. Therefore, the technical problem that the complexity of cross array configuration is increased due to the fact that extra devices need to be integrated at present is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of semiconductor devices, and more specifically relates to a self-rectifying memristor, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background technique [0002] With the further development of an intelligent society, memristors have received widespread attention in the field of neuromorphic computing in recent years because they can imitate the information processing methods of the human brain. Artificial neural networks based on memristors are helpful Realize high-performance computing architecture and meet computing power requirements for information processing. At the same time, as a new type of nanometer device, due to its simple sandwich structure, a crossbar structure can be used to construct a high-density integrated array to realize a large-scale artificial neural network. However, when the cross-array structure is used, there is a sneak-path current effect, which interferes with the reading of the resi...
