Exploring the Physics of Resistive-Switching Behavior in Emerging Two-Dimensional Hexagonal Boron Nitride (2D h-BN) Memristors

The two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) memristor is known to “switch” between high to low resistive states through the formation and erasure of conductive filaments between electrodes. Mechanisms behind this filament formation include both metallic diffusion (primarily acting in Ti/h-BN/Au memristors), as well as the forming of boron vacancies (primarily in Au/h-BN/Au memristors) in the h-BN layers when a voltage is swept across the device. To better comprehend how these processes govern “switching,” IV sweep characteristics of both the Ti/h-BN/Au and Au/h-BN/Au devices will be measured across various temperatures, carefully modeled, and ultimately compared.

Sponsored project | Spring 2023, Needs Review

Hailey Warner’s FURI project is sponsored by TSMC.

TSMC is a global leader in the semiconductor foundry business. The company’s industry-leading process technologies and portfolio of design enablement solutions help its customers and partners unleash semiconductor innovation. With its recent expansion into Phoenix, TSMC sees the benefit of a strong partnership with ASU faculty and student researchers. TSMC supports the FURI program by providing additional funding for exceptional research projects related to the semiconductor industry. FURI student researchers who pursue a project related to the Semiconductor Manufacturing research theme are eligible for this sponsorship. TSMC-supported FURI students receive a $2,600 stipend and $400 to use for materials. Exceptional research proposals that align with the research theme of Semiconductor Manufacturing will be considered for this additional funding.
