Memristors - A new technology paradigm

3^rd International Conference on Theoretical and Condensed Matter Physics

October 19-21, 2017 New York, USA

Mehdi Anwar

University of Connecticut, USA

Keynote: J Material Sci Eng

Abstract :

A general overview of the state-of-the-art in memristor research and development including neuromorphic computing and learning will be provided. This will follow discussion of the underlying physical/chemical processes governing the operation of this class of devices. Discussions on modeling will include DC, transients and RF operations. Material growth and fabrication of memristors emphasizing ZnO as a material platform will be presented. DC and RF measurements will be compared to theoretical results to facilitate material identification for specific outcomes. System level application will be demonstrated with an experimental realization of one- bit PUF.
