Description
Summary:A memristor is a promising candidate of new electronic synaptic devices for neuromorphic computing. However, conventional memristors often exhibit complex device structures, cumbersome manufacturing processes, and high energy consumption. Graphene-based materials show great potential as the building materials of memristors. With direct laser writing technology, this paper proposes a lateral memristor with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and Pt as electrodes and graphene oxide (GO) as function material. This Pt/GO/rGO memristor with a facile lateral structure can be easily fabricated and demonstrates an ultra-low energy consumption of 200 nW. Typical synaptic behaviors are successfully emulated. Meanwhile, the Pt/GO/rGO memristor array is applied in the reservoir computing network, performing the digital recognition with a high accuracy of 95.74%. This work provides a simple and low-cost preparation method for the massive production of artificial synapses with low energy consumption, which will greatly facilitate the development of neural network computing hardware platforms.
