Abstract
Memristor crossbar arrays were fabricated based on a Ti/HfO2/Ti stack that exhibited electroforming-free behavior and low device variability in a 10 x 10 array size. The binary states of high-resistance-state and low-resistance-state in the bipolar memristor device were used for the synaptic weight representation of a binarized neural network. The electroforming-free memristor was confirmed as being suitable as a binary synaptic device because of its higher device yield, lower variability, and less severe malfunction (for example, hard break-down) than the electroformed memristors based on a Ti/HfO2/Pt structure. The feasibly working binarized neural network adopting the electroforming-free binary memristors was demonstrated through simulation.
