2011.6.20星期一上午9：30在A718报告厅，高兴邀请到美国密执安大学电机工程系卢伟，做题为“Electronics based on low-dimensional systems: memristorsand nanowires”的报告。

 卢伟博士在纳米线器件和应用领域作了大量前沿的工作。

 报告摘要：It is well accepted now that conventional device scaling will soon hit a “brick wall” at the ~10nm scale due to several fundamental limits. In this talk I will discuss our pursuit of building future electronics

using low-dimensional systems such as one-dimensional structures (termed nanowires) and two-terminal hysteretic resistive switches (termed RRAM devices or memristors). Using chemically synthesized nanowires, we have fabricated electronic devices suitable for high-performance electronics, transparent and/or flexible electronics with operation frequencies > 100 MHz, and high-performance transistor devices and quantum devices based on Ge/Si core/shell nanowires. Using a crossed wire “crossbar” structures we have studied memory and logic components based on two-terminal memristors. Two types of memristor devices will be discussed: devices with abrupt resistance change (digital-type) that possess a number of promising performance metrics such as yield, on/off ratio, switching speed, endurance and retention suitable for memory as Flash replacement or reconfigurable circuit applications; and devices with incremental resistance change (analog-type) that can be used to emulate synaptic functions to build biologically-inspired computing systems. Our recent studies to integrate the memristor arrays vertically on top of CMOS chips will also be discussed.
