Exemplary semiconductor structures for neuromorphic applications may include a first layer overlying a substrate material. The first layer may be or include a first oxide material. The structures may include a second layer disposed adjacent the first layer. The second layer may be or include a second oxide material. The structures may also include an electrode material deposited overlying the second layer.

Dual oxide analog switch for neuromorphic switching

A method for setting memory elements in a plurality of states includes applying a set signal to a memory element to transition the memory element from a low-current state to a high-current state; applying a partial reset signal to the memory element to transition the memory element from the high-current state to a state between the high-current state and the low-current state; determining whether the state corresponds to a predetermined state; and applying one or more additional partial reset signals to the memory element until the state corresponds to the predetermined current state. The memory element may be coupled in series with a transistor, and a voltage control circuit may apply voltages to the transistor to set and partially reset the memory element.

Soft reset for multi-level programming of memory cells in non-von neumann architectures

Exemplary methods of forming a semiconductor structure may include forming a layer of metal on a semiconductor substrate. The layer of metal may extend along a first surface of the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate may be or include silicon. The methods may include performing an anneal to produce a metal silicide. The methods may include implanting ions in the metal silicide to increase a barrier height over 0.65 V.
