Abstract:
Redox based resistive switches (ReRAMs) are one of the most promising candidates for future ultra-dense nonvolatile memories. Besides memory applications it was shown that ReRAMs offer logic-in-memory capabilities and can be used for neuromorphic network approaches. It has been shown that quantized conduction steps can appear in ReRAMs, which can influence their behavior in applications. In this work the impact on neuromorphic networks is investigated. It is shown that the occurrence of quantized conduction restricts the functionality of the network.
