| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
An elemental device for possible brain-inspired hardware, i.e., a neuronal interconnect (synaptic) device that connects neurons electrically through nonvolatile resistor, was explored. Through extensive experimentals of the prototype device, the following results were obtained: i) transient characteristics of the ReRAM are qualitatively equivalent to characteristics of a mathematical model of memristors proposed by Leon Chua, ii) conductance of the ReRAM does not change when one applies voltage spikes to a CR circuit consisting of the ReRAM and a capacitor, iii) when the capacitor is discharged via an additional current path during the charge and discharge process in ii) above, conductance of the ReRAM is certainly increased and decreased, and iv) by combining properties of ii) and iii) above, conductance of the STDP device is certainly modulated (increased or held) by the input spike timing.
