Abstract

In this paper, gradual and symmetrical long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) were achieved by applying the optimal electrical pulse condition of the interfacial phase-change memory (iPCM) based on a superlattice (SL) structure fabricated by stacking GeTe/Sb2Te3 alternately to implement an artificial synapse in neuromorphic computing. Furthermore, conventional phase-change random access memory (PCRAM) based on a Ge–Sb–Te (GST) alloy with an identical bottom electrode contact size was fabricated to compare the electrical characteristics. The results showed a reduction in the reset energy consumption of the GeTe/Sb2Te3 (GT/ST) iPCM by more than 69% of the GST alloy for each bottom electrode contact size. Additionally, the GT/ST iPCM achieved gradual conductance tuning and 90.6% symmetry between LTP and LTD with a relatively unsophisticated pulse scheme. Based on the above results, GT/ST iPCM is anticipated to be exploitable as a synaptic device used for brain-inspired computing and to be utilized for next-generation non-volatile memory.
