Solid-State Memcapacitors and Their Applications

摘要: This chapter introduces the concept of a memcapacitor, and reviews different approaches to its physical realization. Also, practical constraints for their usage are assessed. Because compatibility with traditional circuit integration technologies, two particularly interesting: ferroelectric capacitor memcapacitor constructed by appending metal-insulator-metal (MIM) memristive switching layer. Ferroelectric capacitors have already been in use many years so properties this technology relatively well researched. The MIM-memristor hybrid structure can take advantage vital research on memories. With sufficiently large ratio OFF ON resistances material, compound behaves as memcapacitive system. Finally, potential memcapacitors memory logic applications artificial neural networks discussed.
