Set/Reset Bilaterally Controllable Resistance Switching Ga‐doped Ge<sub>2</sub>Sb<sub>2</sub>Te<sub>5</sub> Long‐Term Electronic Synapses for Neuromorphic Computing
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Long‐term plasticity of bio‐synapses modulates the stable synaptic transmission that is quite related to the encoding of information and its emulation using electronic hardware is one of important targets for neuromorphic computing. Ge 2 Sb 2 Te 5 (GST) based phase change random access memory (PCRAM) has become a strong candidate for complementary‐metal‐oxide‐semiconductor (CMOS) compatible integrated long‐term electronic synapses to cope with the high‐efficient and low power consumption data processing tasks for neuromorphic computing. However, the performance of PCRAM electronic synapses is still quite limited due to the challenges in linear and continuous conductance regulation, which originates from the fast and uncontrollable resistance switching characteristic of conventional PCRAM for the data storage application. Here an in‐depth study is reported on the impact of gallium (Ga) doping on GST (GaGST) structural properties and on the corresponding 0.13 µm CMOS technology fabricated PCRAM integrated devices with a mushroom structure. The Ga doping effectively retarded the crystallization process of GST by augmenting the local disorder of GeTe 4‐n Ge n tetrahedron, which subsequently leads to the Set/Reset bilaterally controllable resistance switching of corresponding PCRAM devices. The optimized 6.5%GaGST electronic synapses demonstrate gradual resistance switching characteristics and a good multilevel retention feature and eventually exhibit outstanding long‐term synaptic plasticity like potentiation/depression and spiking time dependent plasticity in four forms. Such long‐term electronic synapses are applied to handwritten digits recognition (96.22%) and CIFAR‐10 image categorization (93.6%) and attain very high accuracy for both tasks. These results provide an effective method to achieve high performance PCRAM electronic synapses and highlight the great potential of GaGST PCRAM as a component for future high‐performance neuromorphic computing.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
