X‐Ray TID Suppresses Inhibitory Plasticity of SnO‐Based Memristors and Its Impact on Neuromorphic Computation
Abstract
ABSTRACT X‐ray total ionization dose (TID) significantly modifies synaptic plasticity in SnO‐based volatile memristors, a device class promising for neuromorphic computing in radiation‐exposed environments. We further observe that synaptic operation becomes more stable when training is initiated after a reset, indicating a protocol‐dependent mitigation of variability. Device‐parameterized convolutional neural network simulations indicate that nonlinearity and epoch‐to‐epoch variation both decrease in irradiated devices, leading to higher training accuracy (≈80% after 200 epochs) than pristine counterparts (
