M+SDC 16 Discrete Bare Die Six Pack

(6) Bare die, each with with sixteen discrete Self-Directed-Channel (SDC) memristors with dopant (W, C, Cr, Sn). 4.3mm x 2.1mm die with 100um x 100um tungsten bonding pads.

This product is intended for microelectronics professionals and requires either an aluminum wire wedge bonder or probe station. Due to thin tungsten bonding pads, die can be challenging to wire-bond and requires practice. While we can provide guidance, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to bond to them successfully.

The first time a device is operated after fabrication the self-directed channel is formed during application of a positive potential to the top electrode. The potential required for this operation is typically the same as required during normal device operation. This first operation generates Sn ions from the SnSe layer and forces them into the ‘active’ Ge2Se3 layer, where they undergo a chemical reaction. During this reaction, the glass network is distorted to provide conductive channels for the movement of Ag+ during device operation. The resistance is tunable in the lower and higher directions by movement of Ag into or away from these channels through application of either a positive or negative potential, respectively, across the device. Knowm memristors are Ag+ ion SDC memristor where the active layer has been doped to enhance and optimize the memristors properties.
