III-nitride memristors: materials, devices, and applications

III-nitride memristors: materials, devices, and applications

  • 摘要: Memristors, with their compactness, nonvolatile storage, and dynamic resistance modulation, are poised to revolutionize next-generation memory and neuromorphic computing paradigms. III-nitride materials, such as boron nitride (BN), gallium nitride (GaN), and aluminum nitride (AlN), exhibit exceptional properties for advancing memristive technologies, including wide bandgaps (3.4–6.2 eV), high electron mobility (102–103 cm2 (V·s)-1), high thermal conductivity (up to 400 W (m·K)-1), and robust resistance to harsh environments (e.g. extreme temperatures, radiation). Coupled with inherent complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) compatibility, these attributes position nitride-based memristors as a transformative platform for scalable, energy-efficient, and reliable electronics. In this review, we systematically examine recent advancements in III-nitride memristors, with a focus on materials engineering, device structures, and emerging applications. We begin by outlining the unique advantages of III-nitride materials for memristor design, followed by a critical analysis of progress in BN, GaN, AlN, and AlScN-based devices. We then explore their hardware-level implementations, demonstrating their role in next-generation chip architectures. Finally, we discuss the challenges and future directions to advance nitride-based memristive technologies. Notably, III-nitride memristors unlock unprecedented opportunities for high-performance electronics in extreme environments while bridging the gap between bio-inspired computing paradigms and hardware scalability, enabling adaptive, high-speed, and energy-efficient intelligent systems.
