Resistive-switching Solid-state Brain-neocortex-like Device for Advanced Non-volatile Logic Applications

A resistive-switching solid-state brain-neocortex-like device for advanced non-volatile logic applications was developed. This device can be used as a reconfigurable logic device that is operated by electrically connecting and disconnecting pairs of electrodes. This paper reports for the first time the experimental evaluation results of a three-terminal test element group as the unit for a solid state brain neocortex-like device. The solid-state brain-neocortex-like device was experimentally evaluated as unit in a three-terminal test element group. The evaluation results show that the neocortex-like reconfigurable switching, in particular, fringe-electric-field-induced switching is possible in the device.
