“…In recent years, a large number of studies have been reported on the construction of artificial neural networks using memristor-simulated synapses [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. However, to use a memristor array to implement a synaptic network, a memristor with high nonlinear volt-ampere characteristics [ 23 , 27 , 28 ] or a highly nonlinear selector in series [ 5 , 29 , 30 , 31 ] is required to minimize the non-idealities impact caused by potential current paths during training and inference operations.…”
