This work presents a material implication implementation using SiOx based unipolar memristors. SiOx memristors with TaN/SiOx/Si structures have been fabricated, characterized, and used in the implication operation. The implication function and its truth table were well implemented using both positive and negative voltages for load resistor bias. The voltage range for the implication operation is reduced due to bidirectional bias. The key factors for the operation of material implication, such as load resistance, characteristics of the memristor, and design tradeoffs were investigated. This work demonstrates that unipolar SiOx based memristors are suitable for logic operations.
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.
