Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Advances in memory technology, covering materials, device structures, and applications, signify a crucial shift in the landscape of modern computing. Material breakthroughs, including the development of innovative compounds and structures, have paved the way for next-generation memory devices. From NAND flash to emerging technologies such as resistive random-access memory (RRAM) and phase-change memory (PCM), these materials offer improved performance, increased densities, and enhanced reliability.

Simultaneously, improvements in memristor device architectures, such as crossbar arrays and 3D stacking, have expanded storage capacities and processing speeds. By vertically integrating multiple memory layers and emulating neural connections, these architectures optimize spatial efficiency, enhancing not only storage but also computation paradigms. These advancements have wide-ranging applications across industries, revolutionizing data storage and processing. From enabling edge computing for real-time analytics to stimulating advancements in artificial intelligence and autonomous systems, the impact of these memory technologies is immense. As research continues to push the boundaries of possibilities, the future promises even more transformative innovations, reshaping the technological landscape and unlocking the frontiers of computing.

This Special Issue aims to collect submissions related to the design and applications of memristors. Both research articles and reviews are welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Chips is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Oxygen vacancy engineering in metal oxides is a propitious route to modulate their resistive switching properties for memory and neuromorphic applications. This review provides an account of the research works on tailoring RS behavior in oxide thin-film-based memristor devices by oxygen vacancy engineering. We discuss the recent research progress on controlling oxygen vacancy concentration in metal oxide thin films and its impact on their resistive switching properties for application in electronic memory and neuromorphic computing devices.
