Abstract
In this paper, we propose a one transistor-two resistive RAM (RRAM) (1T2R) device to overcome the non-ideal switching behavior of artificial synapse devices, such as the unidirectional and abrupt change in the conductance. Our findings reveal that the 1T2R device can exhibit bidirectional conductance changes using unidirectional switching RRAMs. Thus, we introduce a unidirectional but analog switching Cu-based RRAM device (Cu/Cu2-X S/WO3-X/W) having an internal voltage suppressor (Cu2-XS) to realize a bidirectional and analog 1T2R synapse device. The synaptic behaviors of the 1T2R device are calculated using the subthreshold region of an NMOSFET. In addition, we improve the on/off conductance ratio and conductance change linearity owing to the nonlinear current transition characteristics of the subthreshold region. Finally, we demonstrate that an ideal synaptic behavior can be achieved through the 1T2R device even when non-ideal switching RRAM elements are used.
