3D monolithic integration of logic and memory has been the most sought after solution to surpass the Von Neumann bottleneck, for which a low-temperature processed material system becomes inevitable. Two-dimensional materials, with their excellent electrical properties and low thermal budget are potential candidates. Here, we demonstrate a low-temperature hybrid co-integration of one-transistor-one-resistor memory cell, comprising a surface functionalized 2D WSe p-FET, with a solution-processed WSe Resistive Random Access Memory. The employed plasma oxidation technique results in a low Schottky barrier height of 25 meV with a mobility of 230 cm V s, leading to a 100x performance enhanced WSe p-FET, while the defective WSe Resistive Random Access Memory exhibits a switching energy of 2.6 pJ per bit. Furthermore, guided by our device-circuit modelling, we propose vertically stacked channel FETs for high-density sub-0.01 μm memory cells, offering a new beyond-Si solution to enable 3-D embedded memories for future computing systems.
逻辑与内存的3D单片集成一直是突破冯·诺依曼瓶颈最受追捧的解决方案,为此低温处理材料系统成为必然选择。二维材料凭借其优异的电学性能和低热预算成为潜在候选材料。在此,我们展示了一种低温混合共集成的单晶体管单电阻存储器单元,它由一个表面功能化的二维WSe p型场效应晶体管与一个溶液处理的WSe电阻式随机存取存储器组成。所采用的等离子体氧化技术导致肖特基势垒高度低至25毫电子伏特,迁移率为230厘米²/伏·秒,从而使WSe p型场效应晶体管性能提高了100倍,而有缺陷的WSe电阻式随机存取存储器每位的开关能量为2.6皮焦耳。此外,在我们的器件 - 电路建模指导下,我们提出了用于高密度亚0.01微米存储单元的垂直堆叠沟道场效应晶体管,为未来计算系统实现3D嵌入式存储器提供了一种超越硅的新解决方案。
