Ag:SiOx-Based Volatile Memristors for Dendritic Computations

Dendrites play a crucial role in the information processing of neuromorphic systems by virtue of their unique functions. However, research realizing hardware dendritic computation, especially active functions is still insufficient. Here we fabricated Ag:SiOx-based volatile memristors and demonstrated multiple dendritic functions. We experimentally achieved not only the temporal integrations but also the active function of dendrites, namely gain modulation and selectivity. Our work shows the potential of implementing versatile dendritic computation with emerging memristors.
