Tailoring Transient-Amorphous States: Towards Fast and Power-Efficient Phase-Change Memory and Neuromorphic Computing
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new methodology for manipulating transient-amorphous states of phase-change memory (PCM) materials is reported as a viable means to boost the speed, yet reduce the power consumption of PC memories, and is applicable to new forms of PCM-based neuromorphic devices. Controlling multiple-pulse interactions with PC materials may provide an opportunity toward developing a new paradigm for ultra-fast neuromorphic computing.

In this work, we will focus on the use of Phase Change Memory (PCM) to emulate synaptic behavior in emerging neuromorphic system-architectures. In particular, we will originally show that the performance and energyefficiency of large scale neuromorphic systems can be improved by engineering individual PCM devices used as synapses. This is obtained by adding a thin HfO2 interface layer to standa...

متن کاملRedefining the Speed Limit of Phase Change Memory Revealed by Time-resolved Steep Threshold-Switching Dynamics of AgInSbTe Devices
Although phase-change memory (PCM) offers promising features for a 'universal memory' owing to high-speed and non-volatility, achieving fast electrical switching remains a key challenge. In this work, a correlation between the rate of applied voltage and the dynamics of threshold-switching is investigated at picosecond-timescale. A distinct characteristic feature of enabling a rapid threshold-s...
