Nonideal resistive and synaptic characteristics in Ag/ZnO/TiN device for neuromorphic system

Abstract Ideal resistive switching in resistive random-access memory (RRAM) should be ensured for synaptic devices in neuromorphic systems. We used an Ag/ZnO/TiN RRAM structure to investigate the effects of nonideal resistive switching, such as an unstable high-resistance state (HRS), negative set (...
