Abstract
Owing to the advantages of simple structure, low power consumption and high-density integration, memristors or memristive devices are attracting increasing attention in the fields of next generation nonvolatile memories, neuromorphic computation and data encryption, etc. However, the deposition of memristive films often requires expensive equipment and strict vacuum conditions, the process consumes high energy, and it is also very time–consuming. In contrast, electrochemical anodizing can produce metal oxide films quickly (e.g. in 10 s) under ambient conditions. By means of the anodizing technique, oxide films, oxide nanotubes, nanowires and nanodots can be fabricated to prepare memristors. Through adjusting oxidation parameters such as voltage, current and time, oxide film thickness, nanostructures, defect concentrations, etc., can be varied to regulate device performances. Thus memristors fabricated by the anodic oxidation technique can achieve high device consistency, low variation, and ultra–high yield rate. This article provides a comprehensive review of the research progress in the field of anodic oxidation assisted fabrication of memristors. Firstly, the principle of anodic oxidation is introduced; then different types of memristors produced by the anodic oxidation are presented; finally, features and challenges of the anodic oxidation for memristor production are elaborated.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing (IJEM) focuses on publishing original articles and reviews related to the science and technology of manufacturing functional devices and systems with extreme dimensions and/or extreme functionalities. The journal covers a wide range of topics, from fundamental science to cutting-edge technologies that push the boundaries of currently known theories, methods, scales, environments, and performance. Extreme manufacturing encompasses various aspects such as manufacturing with extremely high energy density, ultrahigh precision, extremely small spatial and temporal scales, extremely intensive fields, and giant systems with extreme complexity and several factors. It encompasses multiple disciplines, including machinery, materials, optics, physics, chemistry, mechanics, and mathematics. The journal is interested in theories, processes, metrology, characterization, equipment, conditions, and system integration in extreme manufacturing. Additionally, it covers materials, structures, and devices with extreme functionalities.
