Abstract:
Implementation of the neuromorphic computing requires a hardware network system to mimic the functionality of biological neural systems. The development of digital non-volatile resistive memory in a large and dense array is maturing and it provides a tremendous commercial opportunity to enable the hardware accelerator development. In this work, we have designed the RRAM device structures and developed the back-end-of-line (BEOL) CMOS integration processes to fabricate the memory chips of 64Kb array, and achieved a high fabrication yield > 99.79% with programmable characteristics to meet the requirements of different application algorisms. The chips as the building block of artificial neuromorphic network have low writing energy, fast writing speed, high endurance and retention. Most importantly, we demonstrated the remarkable capabilities chips to facilitate neuromorphic computing.
