Abstract

Memristors with analog resistive switching could memorize and deal with information at the same time, similar to how biological synapses function by regulating the connection between two adjacent neurons. In this work, the memristor with ITO/amylum/Pt structure was prepared using amylum film as active layer. An electronic synaptic device is described. The current–voltage characteristics of the device under voltage pulse signal show typical behavior of artificial synaptic device. ITO/amylum/Pt devices have stable and reliable electrical characteristics at scanning bias. ITO/amylum/Pt memristor could well mimic the function and synaptic plasticity of biological synapses, such as amplitude-dependent plasticity, excitatory postsynaptic current, paired pulse facilitation, and learning, forgetting, and relearning processes.
