Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and particularly relates to a physical transient reconfigurable memristor and a preparation method. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a new storage technology, the memristor can realize controllable conversion between high resistance state and low resistance state under the regulation of electric stress, and becomes one of the important candidates with great development potential in the storage technology field due to the advantages of simple device structure and preparation process, low power consumption, good CMOS process compatibility, and easy three-dimensional integration. According to the different data retention capabilities, the memristor can be divided into volatile and non-volatile memristors: the stored data information of the volatile memristor disappears after the applied electric signal is removed, and the device itself does not have data storage capability; the non-volatile memristor has data retention capability, and can still store data information after the electric signal is removed, showing non-volatility. The brain-like computing based on the advantages of the memristor has attracted more and more attention, in order to better adapt to the current computing complexity level and construct the brain-like in-memory computing framework, it is required that the electronic device has specific switching characteristics, which requires the memristor to be reconfigured and given reconfigurable characteristics, so as to meet the switching requirements of various volatile and non-volatile types.
[0003] Reconfigurable memristor can controllably complete the conversion between volatile and non-volatile storage functions under different test conditions, which has important advantages for constructing efficient and low-cost brain-like in-memory computing mode. In recent years, researchers have realized reconfigurable memristor by modulating the limiting current and applied bias, and have carried out selection and optimization of material structure and device structure in terms of resistance state conversion speed, energy efficiency and tolerance improvement. Hong Wang et al. realized volatile threshold switch function and non-volatile resistance storage function by regulating the limiting current based on Ag / silk fibroin / Au sandwich structure. This scheme uses solution spin coating method to complete efficient large-area preparation of silk fibroin resistance variable layer, but is limited by the uniformity problem of polymer film during spin coating. The Set voltage of different devices changes between 1.3-3.4V, and the performance uniformity between devices is not ideal. Rohit Abraham John et al. realized controllable conversion of volatile and non-volatile memristor function by regulating the limiting current and applied bias using CsPbBr3 nanocrystal / poly(N,N'-bis-4-butylphenyl-N,N-bisphenyl)benzidine) as a resistance variable conversion layer. This scheme ingeniously combines perovskite nanocrystals and organic layers to endow the device with reconfigurability of memory capability, but the operating voltage of the non-volatile resistance conversion of the device is as high as-6V, which fails to take advantage of the low power consumption of the memristor. Yaoyao Fu et al. constructed a memristor function based on a V / VOx / HfWOx / Pt device structure, and realized volatile and non-volatile storage functions with good tolerance by regulating the applied bias.
[0004] Notably, with the advent of the big data era, how to protect information security has become a major problem that has plagued user privacy. How to prevent private information, especially national defense strategic information, from being snooped and leaked is still an important challenge that needs to be faced. This not only requires the continuous improvement of computer computing power, but also puts higher requirements on the security of the computing system. How to endow in-memory computing systems with attack resistance and build a defense barrier for information security is still a key technical problem that needs to be solved.
[0005] However, the existing reported reconfigurable memristor has not considered the information security problem that should be paid attention to in in-memory computing applications, and still needs to endow it with strain ability combined with the utility characteristics of the device to protect the confidential information stored from being leaked.

[0055] Specifically, a 8-10nm-thick first water-soluble dielectric material is prepared on the bottom electrode 2 by a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method, and the preparation conditions are as follows: the flow ratio of silane (SiH4, purity 2%) to nitrogen (N2) is 200:2, to obtain the first water-soluble dielectric layer 31.

[0060] It should be noted that when the material of the top electrode 4 is Mg, Mg is a water-soluble metal material, at this time, the bottom electrode 2, the resistive switching functional layer 3 and the top electrode 4 can all be dissolved in an aqueous solution, greatly improving the strain capability of the device, and further protecting the data information stored in the in-memory computing chip from being leaked.
[0061] Further, the reconfigurable memristor is immersed in an aqueous solution, and the memristor gradually cannot realize resistance conversion, thereby realizing functional self-destruction, and with the continuation of the dissolution process, the device eventually realizes the disappearance of the physical form, as shown in Figure 3 (f) and 3(g).
[0062] The material structure design of the reconfigurable memristor of the embodiment is simple, without introducing a complex material preparation process, and the preparation process is simple and efficient.

[0064] On the basis of Embodiment Two, this embodiment further illustrates the preparation method of the reconfigurable memristor by taking W as the bottom electrode, Ag as the top electrode, and SiNx / MgO as the resistive switching functional layer.
[0065] The preparation method comprises the steps of:

By adjusting the limit current, the reciprocal conversion of volatile and non-volatile storage is realized. Compared with increasing the bias voltage to realize the conversion from volatile to non-volatile, adjusting the limit current greatly plays the energy-saving and low-consumption advantage of the memristor.
