    Abstract Exploring multiple states based on the domain wall (DW) position has garnered increased attention for in-memory computing applications, particularly focusing on the utilization of spin-orbit torque (SOT) to drive DW motion. However, devices relying on the DW position require efficient DW pinning. Here, we achieve granular magnetization switching by incorporating an HfOx insertion layer between the Co/Ti interface. This corresponds to a transition in the switching model from the DW motion to DW nucleation. Compared to the conventional Pt/Co/Ti structure, incorporation of the HfOx layer results in an enhanced SOT efficiency and a lower switching current density. We also realized stable multistate storage and synaptic plasticity by applying pulse current in the Pt/Co/HfOx/Ti device. The simulation of artificial neural networks (ANN) based on the device can perform digital recognition tasks with an accuracy rate of 91%. These results identify that DW nucleation with a Pt/Co/HfOx/Ti based device has potential applications in multistate storage and ANN.

  5. Article: Frequency-Dependent Synapse Weight Tuning in 1S1R with a Short-Term Plasticity TiOₓ-Based Exponential Selector

    Abstract Short-term plasticity (STP) is an important synaptic characteristic in the hardware implementation of artificial neural networks (ANN), as it enables the temporal information processing (TIP) capability. However, the STP feature is rather challenging to reproduce from a single nonvolatile resistive random-access memory (RRAM) element, as it requires a certain degree of volatility. In this work, a Pt/TiOₓ/Pt exponential selector is introduced not only to suppress the sneak current but also to enable the TIP feature in a one selector-one RRAM (1S1R) synaptic device. Our measurements reveal that the exponential selector exhibits the STP characteristic, while a Pt/HfOₓ/Ti RRAM enables the long-term memory capability of the synapse. Thereafter, we experimentally demonstrated pulse frequency-dependent multilevel switching in the 1S1R device, exhibiting the TIP capability of the developed 1S1R synapse. The observed STP of the selector is strongly influenced by the bottom metal–oxide interface, in which Ar plasma treatment on the bottom Pt electrode resulted in the annihilation of the STP feature in the selector. A mechanism is thus proposed to explain the observed STP, using the local electric field enhancement induced at the metal–oxide interface coupled with the drift-diffusion model of mobile O²– and Ti³⁺ ions. This work therefore provides a reliable means of producing the STP feature in a 1S1R device, which demonstrates the TIP capability sought after in hardware-based ANN.

    Abstract Magnetic skyrmions are potential candidates for neuromorphic computing due to their inherent topologically stable particle-like behavior, low driving current density, and nanoscale size. Antiferromagnetic skyrmions are favored as they can be driven parallel to in-plane electrical currents as opposed to ferromagnetic skyrmions which exhibit the skyrmion Hall effect and eventually cause their annihilation at the edge of nanotracks. In this paper, an antiferromagnetic skyrmion based artificial neuron device consisting of a magnetic anisotropy barrier on a nanotrack is proposed. It exploits inter-skyrmion repulsion, mimicking the integrate-fire (IF) functionality of a biological neuron. The device threshold represented by the maximum number of skyrmions that can be pinned by the barrier can be tuned based on the particular current density employed on the nanotrack. The corresponding neuron spiking event occurs when a skyrmion overcomes the barrier. By raising the device threshold, lowering the barrier width and height, the operating current density of the device can be decreased to further enhance its energy efficiency. The proposed device paves the way for developing energy-efficient neuromorphic computing in antiferromagnetic spintronics.

    Abstract Field-free magnetization switching is critical towards practical, integrated spin-orbit torque (SOT)-driven magnetic random-access memory with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Our work proposes a technique to modulate the spin reflection and spin density of states within a heavy-metal Pt through interfacing with a dielectric MgO layer. We demonstrate tunability of the effective out-of-plane spin torque acting on the ferromagnetic Co layer, enabling current-induced SOT magnetization switching without the assistance of an external magnetic field. The influence of the MgO layer thickness on effective SOT efficiency shows saturation at 4 nm, while up to 80% of field-free magnetization switching ratio is achieved with the MgO between 5 and 8 nm. We analyze and attribute the complex interaction to spin reflection at the dielectric/heavy metal interface and spin scattering within the dielectric medium due to interfacial electric fields. Further, through substituting the dielectric with Ti or Pt, we confirm that the MgO layer is indeed responsible for the observed field-free magnetization switching mechanism.

    Abstract Emerging technologies, i.e., spintronics, 2D materials, and memristive devices, have been widely investigated as the building block of neuromorphic computing systems. Three-terminal memristor (3TM) is specifically designed to mitigate the challenges encountered by its two-terminal counterpart as it can concurrently execute signal transmission and memory operations. In this work, we present a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor-compatible 3TM with highly linear weight update characteristics and a dynamic range of ∼15. The switching mechanism is governed by the migration of oxygen ions and protons in and out of the channel under an external gate electric field. The involvement of the protonic defects in the electrochemical reactions is proposed based on the bipolar pulse trains required to initiate the oxidation process and the device electrical characteristics under different humidity levels. For the synaptic operation, an excellent endurance performance with over 256k synaptic weight updates was demonstrated while maintaining a stable dynamic range. Additionally, the synaptic performance of the 3TM is simulated and implemented into a four-layer neural network (NN) model, achieving an accuracy of ∼92% in MNIST handwritten digit recognition. With such desirable conductance modulation characteristics, our proposed 3T-memristor is a promising synaptic device candidate to realize the hardware implementation of the artificial NN.
