Defects, noise, and coupled ionic-electronic transport in neuromorphic devices

Abstract

Analog computing based on emerging devices is believed to have substantially higher power efficiency than the digital counterparts b,uilt with purely silicon transistors. Although successfully demonstrated in proof-of-concept computing applications, understanding t,he fundamental device physics is still incomplete. We propose basic research on the defects, noise, and transport by comparing the o,peration of transition metal oxide and halide perovskite devices. We aim to understand the influence of mixed ionic-electronic trans,port on switching behavior, noise, and ultimate limits to computing capacity. The research will fundamentally impact resistance swit,ching devices and applications in future low-power nanoelectronics.
