Problems solved by technology

[0003] The disadvantage of the above-mentioned solution for realizing multi-value storage is that additional constraints increase the difficulty of compatibility with traditional CMOS technology, and complex peripheral circuits increase the power consumption of the entire system and reduce the integration of the chip. More importantly, , the multi-value implemented by these schemes, its resistance value is easy to drift and difficult to control, which leads to unstable storage

Abstract

The invention discloses a quantum conductance effect based memristor and a preparation and modulation method and application thereof. The memristor includes an upper electrode, a function layer and a lower electrode and has an MIM crossbar structure. Through regulating the proportion of argon and oxygen, function layer material having different thicknesses and oxygen vacancy is prepared. During modulation, conductive fiber states of the function layer are regulated accurately by adopting a voltage scanning or pulse scanning method and the size of the conductive fibers is controlled within an atomic scale, so that discontinuous conducting behaviors in a number which is the integral multiple of a unit conducting value are obtained and conducting quantization of the memristor is realized. Through exacting different quantum states of the memristor, resistance corresponding to the different quantum states is taken as different impedance for device storage, so that multi-value storage is realized. Besides, a function of the memristor of simulating nerve cell synapsis is implemented. The memristor eliminates influence of impedance drifting caused by dispersion change of conductance states on device application and realizes the quantum storage device with smaller working current, higher storage density, faster reading speed and no loss after power failure.
