    摘要: Decoder circuits having negative differential resistance (NDR) devices are described. In an example, a decoder circuit includes a plurality of input lines to receive select signals, a bias logic to provide a voltage bias, a plurality of output lines to provide output signals, and a plurality of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) threshold switches coupled to the plurality of input lines, the bias logic, and the plurality of output lines. Each of the plurality of MIM threshold switches operating as either a current-controlled positive or negative resistance to map an input logic state of the select signals to an output logic state of the output signals.

    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.
