    Memristors: Aurora's Engineering College

    Uploaded by

    Sumanth Kandula
    This document is a technical seminar report on memristors submitted for a Bachelor of Technology degree. It discusses the history of memristors and their properties, including how they function as switches based on magnetic flux. Memristors can be fabricated using titanium dioxide or other materials. Potential applications include building analog circuits that mimic the human brain in a small size, as well as non-volatile computer memory. Within a decade, memristors could enable emulating neural networks in real time using small, low power systems.

    ABSTRACT:

    The memristor — short for memory resistor - could make it possible to develop far
    more energy-efficient computing systems with memories that retain information even after
    the power is off, so there's no wait for the system to boot up after turning the computer on.
    It may even be possible to create systems with some of the pattern-matching abilities of the
    human brain....

    Within a decade, memristors could let us emulate, instead of merely simulate,


    networks of neurons and synapses. However, even a mouse brain simulation in real time
    involves solving an astronomical number of coupled partial differential equations. A digital
    computer capable of coping with this staggering workload would need to be the size of a
    small city, and powering it would require several dedicated nuclear power plants.

    Memristors can be made extremely small, and they function like synapses. Using
    them, we will be able to build analog electronic circuits that could fit in a shoebox and
    function according to the same physical principles as a brain.

    Finally, memristors are notable because they "are by no means hard to fabricate.
    The titanium dioxide structure can be made in any semiconductor fab currently in
    existence. The primary limitation to manufacturing hybrid chips with memristors is that
    today only a small number of people on Earth have any idea of how to design circuits
    containing memristors."
