Detailed description of the invention
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, embodiment of the present invention is described further.
Embodiment 1
(1) to clean SiO2/ Si silicon chip is substrate, utilizes plasma enhanced atomic first to prepare bottom electrode TiN, specifically Step is as follows:
TiN growth temperature is 400 DEG C, with TiCl4、NH3Plasma respectively as Ti and N source, wherein TiCl4Pulse time Between be 0.1 second, carrier gas is High Purity Nitrogen (99.999%) and simultaneously as purgative gas, and its scavenging period is 4 seconds;NH3Plasma Carrier gas be high-purity argon (99.999%), its burst length is 24 seconds, and High Purity Nitrogen is 6 seconds as the scavenging period of purgative gas, TiCl4Source temperature be room temperature, in this enforcement, TiN thickness is 30nm.
(2) technique for atomic layer deposition is used to grow lower floor's aluminum oxide film, zinc-oxide film successively in bottom electrode TiN layer The memory storage layer constituted with hafnia film, atom layer deposition process condition is: functional membrane growth temperature is 250 DEG C, with three Aluminium methyl, diethyl zinc, four-dimethylamino ethylamine base hafnium and secondary deionized water are respectively as the source of Al, Zn, Hf and O, source, each road Burst length be 0.1 second, carrier gas is High Purity Nitrogen (99.999%) and simultaneously as purgative gas, and its scavenging period is 4 seconds. Four-dimethylamino ethylamine base hafnium source temperature is 155 DEG C, trimethyl aluminium, diethyl zinc and H2O source temperature is all room temperature.
Lower floor aluminium oxide (Al in (bottom electrode) TiN layer in the present embodiment2O3) film thickness is 3nm;Zinc oxide (ZnO) Film thickness is 5nm;Hafnium oxide (HfO2) film thickness is 5nm.
In actual mechanical process, lower floor's aluminium oxide thickness keeps 3nm constant, and its performance during the two thickness correspondent equal Optimum, when ZnO value is 5nm, HfO2Also it is 5nm,Total memory layer thickness is 13nm.
(3) with the method for d.c. sputtering, Pt being formed upper electrode, its thickness is 100nm, i.e. obtains complete memristor knot Structure, as it is shown in figure 1, be followed successively by from top to bottom, upper electrode, hafnia film, zinc-oxide film, aluminum oxide film, bottom electrode, silicon Substrate.
In actual operating process, it is possible to use the conductive metallic materials such as Au or Ru, sink with d.c. sputtering, physical vapor The techniques such as long-pending or photoetching form electrode on resistance-variable storing device.
By Semiconductor Parameter Analyzer, the electrology characteristic of the memristor that the present embodiment obtains is tested, test result As shown in Fig. 2,3,4,5,6,7.
Wherein Fig. 2 is that embodiment memristor current-voltage when being in original state under dc sweeps voltage effect is special Linearity curve test figure, device shows typical ambipolar resistive switching behaviour, is more than through investigating its on-off ratio (HRS/LRS) 10。
Fig. 3 is that under the present embodiment memristor DC voltage sweep, the current-voltage under replacement-continuous reset state is special continuously Linearity curve test figure.General resistance-variable storing device can only be at two different voltages, it is achieved the storage of two different resistances.This reality Execute example, from the beginning of 1.15V, often increase 0.05V and resistance just can be made to improve a step, until resistance value reaches saturated shape during 1.7V State, resistance value no longer changes, and obtains 11 different resistance values altogether.Stopping in any resistance, state does not changes, until next Individual scanning voltage is come.Meanwhile, resistance can load reverse restriction electric current and is allowed to gradually restore.The most same device can Realize the storage of different stage.This setting continuously limits electric current or arranges resetting voltage continuously so that device is from high-impedance state Vary continuously to low resistance state or to be varied continuously to high-impedance state for realizing the multistage storage of device by low resistance state be extremely important 's.
Current-voltage characteristic curve test under Fig. 4 the present embodiment memristor pulse voltage effect.Fig. 4 is at continuous arteries and veins (forward is 0 to 1.4V, and pulse width is 100 milliseconds to rush voltage;Being reversed 0 to-0.6V, pulse width is 100 milliseconds) scanning Under, in device, current value continuously reduces respectively or increases continuously.In addition to multiple-state storage step by step, memristor storage numerical digit letter Cease the most extremely important.General resistance-variable storing device can only realize the binary storage between " 0 " and " 1 ", and in this example Memristor, device has only to just to allow with the pulse of 1.4V resistance improve a step, then can improve again with a 1.4V pulse again One step.Just making device enter saturation with 6 such pulses, resistance no longer changes.Stopping in any resistance, state does not changes Become, until next pulse is come.Reverse six pulse can also be loaded be allowed to restore.That is each storage in this example Unit has 6 different conditions, which achieves multi-system storage, and this example can realize at least senary storage, so that storage Density is greatly increased.Meanwhile, this is also very similar to the multiple case of neuron memory, for realizing (emulation) similar biological neural The function of synapse is laid a good foundation.
According to the concept of memristor, the memory resistor that this example is mentioned is can to distinguish with continually varying character based on resistance In resistive formula memorizer, and the quantity of electric charge that flows through is depended in this change, and its change simultaneously can keep after power is turned off.This The nonlinear transmission characteristic (transfer rate of nerve synapse stimulates with outer signals and changes) of one characteristic and nerve synapse Similar.In order to clearly demonstrate the trend of such a change, depict Fig. 5 electric current and voltage versus time curve figure. As it is shown in figure 5, be Pt/HfO in the embodiment of the present invention2/ZnO/Al2O3/ TiN memristor structure electric current changes over (pulse time Number increase) time electric current increasing or decreasing change test figure, its numerical value is corresponding with Fig. 4.It is obvious that along with pulse (voltage) is secondary The increase (minimizing) of number, pulse current reduces (increasing) accordingly, and corresponding resistance value is just to increase (minimizing).This feature Simulating the function of nerve synapse completely, device creates memory to its charge number flowed through.
The electric conductivity size of this device can also be by adjusting the persistent period of the potential pulse applied and the big of amplitude Little carry out.Higher amplitude and long-term pulse can make electric conductivity (current values) be increased or decreased faster, As shown in Figure 6.If we are using the electric conductivity of memory resistor as a synapse weight, above-mentioned phenomenon is then dashed forward with biological neuron Touch the nonlinear transmission characteristic shown and there is close similarity.Fig. 6 is in embodiment memristor structure, higher pulse The pulse voltage of voltage or last longer all can make the column test figure that current changing rate increases.
Fig. 7 is in embodiment memristor structure, and current value becomes with the pulse voltage number of times increased continuously or reduce continuously The test figure changed.
Knowable to result illustrated above, the electrology characteristic that the memory resistor in the present embodiment is had, i.e. resistance can connect Continue and change and resistance value state can be kept, be that typical case's memristor is exclusive.
Memory resistor in the present embodiment is expected in terms of realizing multistage multiple-state storage and analog neuron synapse realize dashing forward Broken.
