Abstract
In this work, we study the threshold switching and short-term memory plasticity of a Pt/HfO2/TaOx/TiN resistive memory device for a neuromorphic system. First, we verify the thickness and elemental characterization of the device stack through transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and an energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) line scan. Volatile resistive switching with low compliance current is observed under the DC sweep in a positive bias. Uniform cell-to-cell and cycle-to-cycle DC I-V curves are achieved by means of a repetitive sweep. The mechanism of volatile switching is explained by the temporal generation of traps. Next, we initiate the accumulation of the conductance and a natural decrease in the current by controlling the interval time of the pulses. Finally, we conduct a neuromorphic simulation to calculate the pattern recognition accuracy. These results can be applicable to short-term memory applications such as temporal learning in a neuromorphic system.
