Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of semiconductor technology, biological thin film technology and neuromorphic computing, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a reconfigurable memristor based on a nanopore structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, the demand for memory is increasing. However, traditional memory technologies such as flash memory and dynamic random access memory face certain bottlenecks in terms of density, power consumption and performance. Therefore, researchers have begun to explore new memory technologies to meet this challenge. Memristor, as a new type of memory, has the advantages of low power consumption, high density, fast read-write speed and excellent durability. By applying a voltage across the two ends of the memristor, the resistive switching material can form or break conductive filaments between the upper and lower electrodes, causing the device to switch between high resistance and low resistance states. Due to its simple structure, mature process and compatibility with CMOS technology, memristor has become one of the strong competitors in new memory technologies in the post-moore era.

[0003] In biological neural networks, neurons are composed of dendrites, cell bodies and axons. Dendrites are responsible for receiving input signals from other neurons and integrating them before passing them to the cell body. The active and passive characteristics of dendrites play a key role in information processing, not only nonlinearly integrating input signals, but also integrating spatial and temporal information and filtering out irrelevant background noise. Dendrites with active characteristics can generate local dendritic spikes and perform superlinear integration of input signals, while dendrites with passive characteristics perform sublinear integration. These two dendritic characteristics effectively enhance the computational ability of neurons, enabling biological neural networks to more flexibly and efficiently process complex tasks. However, the commonly used classical neuron model usually ignores the function of dendrites and relies on capacitors to integrate input information. This method cannot filter background noise and cannot simulate the nonlinear integration function of dendrites. Therefore, exploring dynamic memristors with volatility and the ability to integrate spatial and temporal information is crucial for improving the performance of neural networks.

[0004] In the field of neuromorphic computing research, sandwich-structured memristors, as an interface-engineered electronic device, the core of their electrical performance regulation lies in the coordination between different interfaces. Therefore, people's research work mainly focuses on regulating and optimizing the interface of the memristor. Among them, the micro-nano structure of the thin film is one of the key technologies to realize the interface regulation of the memristor. By introducing various micro-nano structures such as nanopores, nanocolumns, conical pores + nanofolds into the functional layer thin film, the ion transport process can be significantly regulated.

[0005] While the unique ion fine-tuning ability of the nanopore structure makes it have shown the effect of reducing the switching voltage, improving the switching uniformity and durability in the previous digital type memristor. At the same time, the nanopore structure also shows significant advantages in the application research of neuromorphic computing, especially in the directional transmission and fine-tuning ability of ions, which is crucial for simulating the biological nervous system.

[0006] In recent years, people have carried out extensive research on the memristor based on the nanopore structure. For example, the nanopore structure memristor using Al / PVK / ITO stack realizes the transition of high and low resistance states. However, the current research on the nanopore structure memristor is still mainly based on a single layer structure. The conductive filament of the single-layer nanopore structure memristor has the problems of randomness and fragility, which leads to high operating voltage, small dynamic range, poor data stability, high control cost, and single working mode, which is not conducive to simulating the biological nervous system.

Many practical details will be described in the following description in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. However, it should be understood that these practical details are not intended to limit the present application. That is, these practical details are not necessary in some embodiments of the present application.

[0046] As shown in Figure 1 The present application provides a reconfigurable memristor based on a nanopore structure, which comprises, from bottom to top, a substrate, a bottom electrode, a nanopore polymer film layer, a small molecule resistance layer, and a top electrode. The nanopore polymer film layer is arranged between the small molecule resistance layer and the top electrode, and the small molecule resistance layer and the top electrode both exhibit a periodic growth of nanopore micro-nano structure morphology by self-templating of the nanopore polymer film layer. EMBODIMENT

[0047] A reconfigurable memristor with a nanopore structure is designed and prepared by using a layer-by-layer stacking method with zinc porphyrin as a small molecule resistance layer.

[0048] In actual preparation, the laboratory room temperature is kept at about 20°C, and the indoor humidity is kept below 30%.

[0049] Specifically, the preparation method of the reconfigurable memristor based on the nanopore structure specifically comprises the following steps:

[0050] Step 1, configure a polyvinyl carbazole solution with a molecular weight Mw = 90000, use a low-boiling-point solvent chloroform as a solvent, and the solution concentration is 5 mg / ml. The prepared solution is placed at room temperature and atmospheric pressure for one night, and the impurities in the solution are screened out by filtration to obtain a completely dispersed and uniform polyvinyl carbazole solution;

[0051] Step 2, substrate pretreatment, specifically comprising the following steps:

[0052] Step 2.1. First, clean the bottom electrode indium tin oxide and the glass substrate, and use acetone, anhydrous ethanol, and deionized water in sequence for 10 minutes of cleaning in a 90KHz ultrasonic cleaning machine.

[0053] Step 2.2. Use a high-purity nitrogen gun to blow off the moisture on the surface of the substrate, and place it in an electric heating air drying oven preheated to 120°C for 30 minutes of drying;

[0054] Step 2.3. Place the dried substrate in a UV ozone machine for 10 minutes of UV ozone treatment.

[0055] Step 3, using the prepared polyvinylcarbazole solution, the substrate after step 2 is treated by solution spin coating method in a humid environment with humidity of 80-85%, the spin coater speed is 6000 rpm for 30 seconds, the nano-porous polyvinylcarbazole film thickness is controlled at about 45 nm, and the film thickness is determined by a step meter;

[0056] Step 4, the nano-porous polyvinylcarbazole film after step 3 is annealed at low temperature in a vacuum drying oven to obtain a nano-porous polymer film layer with nano-porous structure; the low temperature annealing temperature is 80°C, and the annealing time is 30 minutes.

[0057] Step 5, the substrate coated with nano-porous polyvinylcarbazole film is placed in the film plating chamber of the vacuum evaporation film plating system, the vacuum degree is controlled at 4×10 -4 pa~6×10 -4 pa, the evaporation rate is 0.3-0.4 Å / s, and the quartz crystal oscillator is used to control the film thickness at 20-60 nm; after the evaporation is completed, the film is annealed and cooled to room temperature to obtain a zinc porphyrin film with different thicknesses; the thickness of the obtained zinc porphyrin film is determined by a step meter;

[0058] Step 6, the substrate in step 5 is taken out of the film plating chamber of the vacuum evaporation film plating system, and after the vacuum degree in the chamber is lower than 4.5×10 -4 pa, the top electrode is evaporated, the top electrode material is aluminum, the evaporation rate is 1.5-1.6 Å / s, and by evaporating metal and using a mask, a nano-porous metal aluminum layer with a thickness of about 70 nm is obtained, and the film thickness is measured by a step meter; due to the self-templating effect of the nano-pores, the top electrode has a nano-porous structure.

[0059] Step 7, after the top electrode in step 6 is evaporated, the top electrode in step 6 is cooled to room temperature in an environment with a vacuum degree lower than 4.5×10 -4 pa, and is taken out, thereby obtaining a nano-porous structure-based reconfigurable memristor single device.

[0060] The nano-porous structure-based reconfigurable memristor prepared in this embodiment is as shown in FIG. 1, which is a full view of the device prepared by using a cross-stacking structure. The structure from bottom to top is a bottom electrode, a nano-porous polymer film layer, a small molecule resistance change layer, and a metal top electrode. Figure 1

[0062] Figure 2 c and Figure 2 d is also an atomic force microscope (AFM) topography of a 60 nm thick nanoporous structured zinc porphyrin thin film prepared by vacuum evaporation technique, the root mean square roughness Rq=6.30 nm, the average pore size of the thin film nanopores is about 400-600 nm.

[0063] It can be seen that due to the characteristic of conformal growth of the thin film in vacuum evaporation, the zinc porphyrin thin film on the nanoporous structured polyvinylcarbazole thin film still has the nanoporous thin film morphology.

[0064] The reconfigurable memristor based on nanoporous structure has the following related performance tests:

The dynamic current switching ratio is about 4600 times, which is much higher than the current switching ratio of the current dynamic memristor.

[0069] Figure 8 The dynamic characteristic test curve of the dynamic memristor based on the 60 nm thick porphyrin zinc film under different pulse amplitudes, the input pulse is -8V, -9V, -10V, -11V, -12V, 500ms, the read pulse is -2V, 2000ms, and the inset is the relaxation curve corresponding to different pulse amplitudes. As shown in Figure 8 , the relaxation changes corresponding to different amplitudes of pulses are different, which highlights the fine regulation ability of the dynamic memristor to different amplitude pulse currents.

The thickness of the nanopore porphyrin copper film is controlled at about 60 nm, and the film thickness is determined by a step meter.

[0072] Figure 3 a and Figure 3 b are the atomic force microscope (AFM) topographic maps of the 60 nm thick nanopore structure porphyrin copper film prepared by the vacuum evaporation technology in the embodiment, the roughness Rq=7.13 nm, and the average pore size of the film nanopore is about 500-700 nm;

[0073] The AFM characterization analysis of the porphyrin copper prepared in Example Two after setting the material of the vacuum evaporation film preparation system as porphyrin copper is shown in Figure 3 , and Figure 2Compared with the zinc porphyrin thin film prepared by vacuum evaporation thin film preparation system, the thin film still has nanopores and the pore size is only increased by about 100 nm, which is almost the same as the result of AFM characterization analysis of zinc porphyrin, so the self-templating effect of the nanoporous polymer thin film layer of the small molecule resistance change layer can stably present the periodically growing nanoporous micro-nano structure morphology, proving the controllability of the device thin film nanopores.
