Silicon Nanowire-Based Memristive Devices

We give a general overview on Silicon nanowire-based multi-terminal memristive devices. The functionality of the devices can be used for logic, memory, and sensing applications. It is shown that three- and four- terminal memristive devices can be used for

Preface

Since 2007, when Stanley Williams and his team at HP Labs constructed a nanoelectronic device [1] showing certain fingerprints of a memristor, there has been a resurgence of research activities in developing elements of electronic circuits and analyzing physical systems exhibiting those fingerprints. The existence of a memristor (for MEMory ResISTOR) as a fourth basic circuit element relating fluxlinkage to charge had been postulated by Chua [2] in 1971. A memristor behaves like a nonlinear resistor with memory depending on the past history of the current or voltage in the device. An extension of the notion to memristive systems [3] was given by Chua and Kang (1976) allowing that these systems depend add
