Abstract
Threshold switches based on conductive metal bridge devices are useful as selectors to block sneak leakage paths in memristor arrays used in neuromorphic computing and emerging nonvolatile memory. We demonstrate that control of Ag-cation concentration in Al2O3 electrolyte and Ag filament size and density play an important role in the high on/off ratio and self-compliance of metal-ion-based volatile threshold switching devices. To control Ag-cation diffusion, we inserted an engineered defective graphene monolayer between the Ag electrode and the Al2O3 electrolyte. The Ag-cation migration and the Ag filament size and density are limited by the pores in the defective graphene monolayer. This leads to quantized conductance in the Ag filaments and self-compliance resulting from the formation and dissolution of the Ag conductive filament.
