Under the traditional von neumann computing architecture, the operation is separated from the storage unit, and when a big data moving task is processed, the frequent transmission and the moving of the data consume a great deal of time and energy, so that the problems of strong storage, strong power consumption and the like of the traditional computing architecture are caused, and therefore, a new computing architecture needs to be explored. The integrated calculation is a brand new calculation architecture based on a novel nonvolatile memristor memory device, data movement is not needed, and local calculation can be directly completed at the position where information is stored. The novel logic architecture can break the bottleneck problem of data transmission blocking through a device-level integrated path, and breaks through the limitation of the von neumann architecture in the existing logic system. The memristor memory is based on the memory calculation integrated function of the analog resistance change device, can finish calculation at the same time at the storage position, is very suitable for high-efficiency and parallel big data calculation and storage, and shows huge energy efficiency ratio and hardware overhead advantages.
The current memristor memory is composed of a lower electrode, a functional layer and a top electrode, and has the advantages of being simple in structure, easy to control material components, compatible in preparation process and semiconductor process, and the like. The double-layer functional layer is prepared by replacing electrode materials and functional layer materials, and performance indexes such as erasing voltage, writing voltage, operating current and the like in the resistance conversion process are reduced in the modes of reducing current and voltage parameters in the conductive filament forming process and the erasing process, so that the memristor memory device with lower power consumption is prepared. The doping influences the type, concentration and distribution of carriers in the semiconductor, so that the doping of proper elements can reduce the performance indexes such as erasing voltage, operating current and the like in the resistance conversion process, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the power consumption.
Tin oxide (SnO) 2 ) Although it has important applications in transparent conductive electrodes and gas sensors as a binary oxide semiconductor, it has little application in memristive memories. Memristor memories using pure tin oxide films as resistive layers generally have the problems of unstable erasing voltage, higher operating current and the like, and the memory performance is reduced. These problems with tin oxide can be solved by doping with appropriate elements. Several doping elements have been reported to date to improve the performance of tin oxide based memristive memories, such as iron, nitrogen and manganese. Although the performance is improved compared with the intrinsic tin oxide based memristor, the intrinsic tin oxide based memristor has the defects of poor consistency, higher operation current, higher power consumption and the like.
