| Sumario: | [EN]Harnessing the full power of memristors as artificial synapses demands a simple and scalable crossbar architecture enabling their seamless integration into diverse applications. This letter presents the 3 × 3 memristor crossbar array configuration featuring a grid of interconnected devices. The composition includes Al as the reactive top electrode connecting the device columns and Gd1−xCaxMnO3 (GCMO, x = 0.8) serving as the bottom electrode connecting the device rows as well as the memristive material eliminating the need for additional layers and fabrication steps. Controlled sized vias through insulating Al2O3 layer connect the electrodes forming the active interface. The idea is validated with a test sample of 3 × 3 crossbars with Au/GCMO/Al structure, Au enabling Ohmic contact to GCMO, with device resistive switching ratios mostly around 102 and yield of over 90%. The devised crossbar structure could provide a highly scalable, yet simple, geometry suitable for synaptic networks. |
