Abstract

In the past decades, neuromorphic computing has attracted the interest of the scientific community due to its potential to circumvent the von Neumann bottleneck. Organic materials, owing to their fine tunablility and their ability to be used in multilevel memories, represent a promising class of materials to fabricate neuromorphic devices with the key requirement of operation with synaptic weight. In this review, recent studies of organic multilevel memory are presented. The operating principles and the latest achievements obtained with devices exploiting the main approaches to reach multilevel operation are discussed, with emphasis on organic devices using floating gates, ferroelectric materials, polymer electrets and photochromic molecules. The latest results obtained using organic multilevel memories for neuromorphic circuits are explored and the major advantages and drawbacks of the use of organic materials for neuromorphic applications are discussed.
