Poly-para-xylylene-Based Memristors on Flexible Substrates

Abstract

Flexible memristive structures based on poly-para-xylelene layers, which exhibit stable resistive switchings and are resistant to bendings with radii up to 10 mm, have been prepared and studied. A two-step scheme of setting the resistive state of the memristive structure is proposed, which is based on monitoring the compliance current passing through the structure. The results obtained allow memristive structures based on poly-para-xylelene layers to be used for neuromorphic computational systems and biocompatible “wearable” electronics.
