A Proton Irradiation Damage Compact Model of HfO x /TiO x Heterojunction Memristive Synapses for Hardening Design of Convolutional Neural Network Hardware
Abstract
Memristive neural network hardware shows great potential for Space applications thanks to its high efficiency, low power, high integration, and radiation tolerance. Yet no memristor model captures the influence of irradiation effects on its conductance update behavior, impeding the radiation-hardening design of memristive neural network hardware. This article presents a proton irradiation damage compact model of memristive synapses. Simulations of$I$–$V$curves and conductance-update linearity agree with experiment within an rms error
