摘要

神经形态计算旨在通过人工神经元和突触复制大脑的高效处理，需要二进制和多级转换。我们提出了一种PtMn/(Co/Pd)4/Ta器件，该器件独特地在相同的几何形状和堆叠结构中实现双自旋-轨道扭矩（SOT）开关模式─二进制和多电平（模拟）─，从而消除了对器件修改的需要。二进制SOT开关在中等电流水平（~ 65 mA）下通过畴壁成核和传播实现，而多电平开关在大电流处理（~ 85 mA）后通过畴成核模式发生，没有显著的传播。两种模式之间的转换源于当前处理后的结构变化。这些模式允许神经元和突触功能，该设备使用人工神经网络（ANN）在MNIST数据集上实现96%的数字/字母识别准确率。该器件具有强大的垂直磁各向异性（PMA）、小面内场（HX）下的双模开关和简化的制造工艺，突显了其作为神经形态计算节能解决方案的前景。

Dual SOT Switching Modes in a Single Device Geometry for Neuromorphic Computing

Neuromorphic computing aims to replicate the brain’s efficient processing through artificial neurons and synapses, requiring binary and multilevel switching. We present a PtMn/(Co/Pd)₄/Ta device that uniquely enables dual spin–orbit torque (SOT) switching modes─binary and multilevel (analog)─within the same geometry and stack structure, eliminating the need for device modifications. Binary SOT switching is achieved via domain wall nucleation and propagation at moderate current levels (∼65 mA), while multilevel switching occurs via domain nucleation mode without significant propagation after a high-current treatment (∼85 mA). The transition between two modes originates from structural changes after the current treatment. These modes allow for neuronal and synaptic functionalities, with the device achieving 96% accuracy in digit/letter recognition on the MNIST data set using an artificial neural network (ANN). The device’s robust perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), dual-mode switching under a small in-plane field (H_X), and simplified fabrication underscore its promise as an energy-efficient solution for neuromorphic computing.
