The internal mechanism based on conductive filaments has been studied in depth. Modulation of voltage pulse signals imitated the synaptic behaviors of paired-pulse facilitation (PPF), spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), and the transition from short-term plasticity (STP) to long-term plasticity (LTP). These results demonstrate that memristive devices based on peptide-templated AuNPs have promising prospects in non-volatile memory and brain-inspired applications.","PeriodicalId":418413,"journal":{"name":"2023 7th IEEE Electron Devices Technology & Manufacturing Conference (EDTM)","volume":"241 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121095106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Besides, there is a screen cylinder surface inside the cylindrical FeCAP under zero bias. Moreover, a novel method for accurately evaluating memory window of 3D FeCAP is proposed based on the screen surface, showing a significant overestimation by conventional method (∼44%).
