    摘要: A memcapacitor device includes a memcapacitive matrix interposed between a first electrode and a second electrode. The memcapacitive matrix includes deep level dopants having a first decay time constant and shallow level dopants having a second decay time constant. The second decay time constant is substantially shorter than the first decay time constant. The capacitance of the memcapacitor device depends upon an initial voltage applied across the memcapacitive matrix and a time dependent change in capacitance of the memcapacitor device depends upon the first decay time constant. A method for forming a memcapacitive device is also provided.

    摘要: Circuitry is provided that closely emulates biological neural responses. Two astable multivibrator circuits (AMCs), each including a negative differential resistance device, are coupled in series-circuit relationship. Each AMC is characterized by a distinct voltage-dependant time constant. The circuitry exhibits oscillations in electrical current when subjected to a voltage equal to or greater than a threshold value. Various oscillating waveforms can be produced in accordance with voltages applied to the circuitry.

    摘要: A memristive routing device includes a memristive matrix, mobile dopants moving with the memristive matrix in response to programming electrical fields and remaining stable within the memristive matrix in the absence of the programming electrical fields; and at least three electrodes surrounding the memristive matrix. A method for tuning electrical circuits with a memristive device includes measuring a circuit characteristic and applying a programming voltage to the memristive device which causes motion of dopants within the memristive device to alter the circuit characteristic. A method for increasing a switching speed of a memristive device includes drawing dopants from two geometrically separated locations into close proximity to form two conductive regions and then switching the memristive device to a conductive state by applying a programming voltage which rapidly merges the two conductive regions to form a conductive pathway between a source electrode and a drain electrode.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to reconfigurable two-terminal electronic switch devices (100) comprising a compound (102) sandwiched between two electrodes (104,106). These devices are configured so that the two electrode/compound interface regions can be either rectifying or conductive, depending on the concentration of dopants at the respective interface, which provides four different device operating characteristics. By forcing charged dopants into or out of the interface regions with an applied electric field pulse, a circuit element can be switched from one type of stable operation to another in at least three different ways. A family of devices built to express these properties display behaviors that provide new opportunities for nanoscale electronic devices.
