Spike-timing-dependent plasticity and synaptic consolidation in Hfo2 memristors for adaptive neuromorphic computing

In this work, we demonstrate the potential of HfO<inf>2</inf>-based memristors as artificial synapses capable of reproducing biologically plausible spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP). W/HfO<inf>2</inf>/Ti/TiN devices were fabricated and characterized, exhibiting reliabl...

W/HfO<inf>2</inf>/Ti/TiN devices were fabricated and characterized, exhibiting reliable bipolar resistive switching, stable endurance, and reproducible resistance states across multiple cells and devices. The excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC) response under sequential voltage pulses revealed gradual potentiation, depression, and saturation dynamics, closely resembling long-term potentiation, long-term depression, and synaptic consolidation in biological systems. Furthermore, the memristors successfully emulated higher-order learning rules, including triplet-STDP and frequency-dependent plasticity, while maintaining robust performance under biologically realistic noise conditions, exhibiting less than ±2% variation under voltage perturbations and ±2.5% under spike-timing jitter across 25 trials. A compact physical model captured the interplay between vacancy-driven filament dynamics and time-dependent weight modulation, yielding STDP curves consistent with experimental observations in neuroscience. These findings highlight HfO<inf>2</inf> memristors as promising candidates for neuromorphic computing, providing not only a faithful hardware realization of synaptic learning but also compatibility with large-scale, CMOS-integrated architectures for next-generation cognitive processors.This work has been funded in part by EU Grant 101070908 (CROSSBRAIN), by grant PID2023-149071NB-C51 (EUPHORIC, funded by the Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities), and by Grant TSI-069100-2023-001 (USECHIP, project funded by the Secretary of State for Telecommunications and Digital Infrastructure, Ministry for Digital Transformation and Civil Service and by the European Union–NextGenerationEU/PRTR).Peer reviewedIOP PublishingEuropean CommissionMinisterio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (España)Agencia Estatal de Investigación (España)Ministerio para la Transformación Digital y de la Función Pública (España)Shooshtari, Mostafa [0000-0003-1292-0683]Pahlavan, Saeideh [0000-0002-1841-6069]Linares-Barranco, Bernabé [0000-0002-1813-4889]Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]202520252025info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/410046https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/105022695011reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
