Abstract:
The development of a memristor is very important for artificial intelligence and new electronic circuits. In this work, Ag(Al)/ZnO/WO/FTO memristors are fabricated by magnetron sputtering, and the device performance is further improved through annealing and oxygen supply during sputtering. The experimental data show that the FTO/WO/ZnO-O2/Ag memristor has the largest high resistance state (HRS)/low resistance state (LRS) resistance ratio and the best durability. Through data fitting and analysis, the switching mechanism of memristors with different top electrodes is investigated. Furthermore, the physical model of the best performance memristor was established by Simulink, and an emotion-monitoring circuit was constructed on this basis. The circuit can be used to monitor and record the mood changes, and the feedback of the emotion monitoring can be fed back to the user to help them adjust the mood.
