Memristor Fabrication Through Printing Technologies: A Review

Abstract

Memristor got the significant attraction to be the next generation memory device due to its small size, simple architecture, high density, and low power consumption. A memristor is a passive twoterminal primary electronic device with a built-in non-volatile memory function that can be fabricated in a crossbar structure. In the literature, independent studies have been reported on memristor manufacturing concerning the spatial resolution of the crossbar electrodes, and thickness of the active layer. However, this paper presents a comprehensive review different from others by comparing all the additive manufacturing technologies and their limitations for the development of a memristor array. A detailed study is performed about the pattern resolution, active layer fabrication, commonly used substrates, and device encapsulation methods. This review will provide a strong basis for the researchers, especially those working in the field of printed memristor devices.INDEX TERMS Memristor, printing technologies, thin films, crossbar electrodes, memristor fabrication.

Role of Carbon Nitride on the Resistive Switching Behavior of a Silver Stannate Based Device: An Approach to Design a Logic Gate Using the CMOS–Memristor Hybrid System

“…For bulk level fabrication of the hybrid logic gates, the inkjet printing technique could be a promising method. 46,47 ■ CONCLUSION This work implemented a wet chemical method to synthesize organic molecule-stabilized silver stannate nanoparticles with and without functionalization by carbon nitride, CASSS, and ASSS, respectively. The synthesized silver stannate was used as an active material in crossbar device architecture for memristor applications.…”

In situ vulcanization synthesis of CuInS2 nanosheet arrays for a memristor with a high on–off ratio and low power consumption

“…Resistive random access memories (Re-RAMs) have been widely studied due to their excellent advantages of device scalability, low power consumption, simple structure, robust tolerance, and excellent data retention capability. [1][2][3][4] In the last decades, various materials have been observed to demonstrate the resistive switching phenomenon. Some emerging materials, such as perovskite and metal chalcogenides, are also currently being explored.…”
