RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Controlling the intermediate conductance states in RRAM devices for synaptic applications A1 García García, Héctor A1 González Ossorio, Óscar A1 Dueñas Carazo, Salvador A1 Castán Lanaspa, María Helena K1 Resistive memories K1 Memorias resistivas K1 Synaptic devices K1 Dispositivos sinápticos K1 3307.90 Microelectrónica AB RRAM devices are promising candidates to implement artificial synaptic devices for their use in neuromorphic systems, due to their high number or reachable conductance levels. The capacitors used in this work (TiN/Ti/ HfO2/W) show resistive switching behavior and reachable intermediate conductance states. We can control the conductance states by applying voltage pulses to the top electrode. Different approaches to control the synaptic weight have been studied: applying pulses with different voltage amplitudes changes the synaptic weight variation in an exponential way, and applying pulses with different lengths changes the synaptic weight in a linear way. We can control the conductance values when applying depression pulses, but the potentiation characteristic is not linear, as for other synaptic devices, as PRAMs. Applying other voltage signals to the structure, as voltage ramps, can improve the potentiation characteristic.
