METHOD FOR REVERSIBLE VOLATILE SWITCHING OF THE RESISTIVE STATE OF A SOLID-STATE APPARATUS BASED ON A METAL-DIELECTRIC-METAL STRUCTURE Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC H01L21/8239 B82B3/00 

FIELD: electrical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods for applying electrical apparatus and to nanocomposite materials based on dielectrics and metals for use in optoelectronics, memristor electronics, and optical computers (including neuromorphic optoelectronic computing systems). Method for reversible volatile switching of the resistive state of a solid-state apparatus based on a metal-dielectric-metal structure containing embedded mutually isolated metal nanoparticles with a size of 1 to 3 nm in the middle (in the dielectric layer), as well as at least one of the electrodes made of a conductive optical emission-transparent material; wherein, according to the invention, the reversible volatile switching of the resistive state of the apparatus is performed by illuminating the area of the dielectric containing nanoparticles with optical emission at the wavelength corresponding to the plasmon resonance wavelength in the mass of nanoparticles, while applying an electric voltage to the electrodes of the structure, so as to create an electric field with an intensity insufficient to change the resistive state of the structure in the absence of illumination in the dielectric layer.

EFFECT: possibility of improving the reproducibility of parameters of the memristor.
