Projektbeschreibung
Erforschung des Schaltmechanismus in 2D-Memristor-Bauelementen
Neuromorphes Computing besitzt ein enormes Potenzial, Bereiche wie KI, Robotik, Automobilbau und Gesundheitswesen zu verändern, insbesondere wenn es mit nichtflüchtigen Speicherbausteinen, so genannten Memristoren, ausgestattet ist. Jüngste Fortschritte bei 2D-Materialien könnten die Möglichkeit bieten, ultrakleine Bauelemente für Speicher- und Logikanwendungen zu entwickeln. Es mangelt jedoch an systematischer Forschung auf atomarer Ebene in diesem Bereich. Unterstützt über die Marie-Skłodowska-Curie-Maßnahmen wird das Projekt 2DMEM diese Hypothese aus der Perspektive der Physik untersuchen. Mit Zugang zu umfangreichen experimentellen Daten über 2D-Memristoren wird es die elektronischen Eigenschaften von 2D-Materialien analysieren, um dem Schaltmechanismus auf die Spur zu kommen. Schließlich zielt 2DMEM darauf ab, realistische Merkmale der Materialien und Bauelemente in Crossbar-Strukturen durch die Verwendung einer hochentwickelten Simulationsplattform zu integrieren.
Ziel
One of the most promising non-volatile memory devices and a building block of brain-inspired neuromorphic computing architectures is memristors. The advent of two-dimensional materials (2DMs) has opened a plethora of opportunities in realizing ultra-scaled device dimensions for future logic and memory applications. Despite different hypotheses proposed in the literature, mainly based on analytical models, significant debate is still ongoing, demonstrating the need for a systematic and atomic-scale study. 2DMEM aims to reveal the fundamental physics lying behind each step of device functionality, e.g. SET and RESET. 2DMEM builds on the complementarity of my strengths on investigating the electronic properties of 2DMs, and simulation expertise and infrastructure at the Host Institution, Tyndall, where access to a large interdisciplinary suite of experimental data on the fabricated 2DM memristors is uniquely available. 2DMEM’s specific objectives are to exploit the experimental data of 2DM properties, and to incorporate ‘realistic’ material and device features into crossbar structures by employing an advanced simulation platform. My career development will benefit from the supervision of Dr Lida Ansari, with the mentorship of Profs Paul Hurley, Stephen Fahy and Dr Farzan Gity, who are established research leaders at Tyndall and at Ireland’s materials research center (AMBER). Through this Fellowship, I will develop my scientific, transferable, and management and leadership skills. These skills are essential for achieving my primary career objective of developing into an independent research leader, and will increase my employability in the academic sector. This MSCA Fellowship also creates a unique starting point for me to directly interact with INTEL, who have expressed great interest in this project, through their R-in-R at Tyndall. This will open up additional possibility of leading impactful research projects and fostering industry-academia collaborations.
