Abstract
Two-terminal self-rectifying (SR)-synaptic memristors are preeminent candidates for high-density and efficient neuromorphic computing, especially for future three-dimensional integrated systems, which can self-suppress the sneak path current in crossbar arrays. However, SR-synaptic memristors face the critical challenges of nonlinear weight potentiation and steep depression, hindering their application in conventional artificial neural networks (ANNs). Here, a SR-synaptic memristor (Pt/NiO<sub><i>x</i></sub>/WO<sub>3-<i>x</i></sub>:Ti/W) and cross-point array with sneak path current suppression features and ultrahigh-weight potentiation linearity up to 0.9997 are introduced. The image contrast enhancement and background filtering are demonstrated on the basis of the device array. Moreover, an unsupervised self-organizing map (SOM) neural network is first developed for orientation recognition with high recognition accuracy (0.98) and training efficiency and high resilience toward both noises and steep synaptic depression. These results solve the challenges of SR memristors in the conventional ANN, extending the possibilities of large-scale oxide SR-synaptic arrays for high-density, efficient, and accurate neuromorphic computing.
