Green computing: ReRAM computer memory based on gelatin nanocomposite

Abstract

Global change and the rise in toxic waste produced by electronic devices are some of the problems presently being tackled using so-called 'green technologies. Although the approach to these significant issues does not rely on a single person, business, government or country, there are commitments that can be made to each person. Green computing is the most well balanced and sustainable solution to creating a greener, healthier, and safer world without reducing the technical essentials of future generations. ReRAM built on biodegradable polymer nanocomposites is progressing rapidly in the direction of green computing for actualization. Biodegradable polymer nanocomposites have recently drawn tremendous research interest due to its unique potential for a vast spectrum of applications in environmental remediation and the resolution of various environmental challenges. The growing interest in nanocomposite material for use in various electronic devices and use of gelatin nanoparticles in organic non-volatile memory devices, remain rare. Investigate biomaterials, which reveal a potential method as materials for ReRAM devices due to the molecules are ecologically friendly, cheap, and flexible. Biocompatible and Gelatin has limited investigation on ReRAM applications regardless of its minimal effort, plenitude and great biodegradability, its impending for the application in unadulterated shape and furthermore as a composite with Nano crystalline CdTe as the dispersant, while production of biodegradable ReRAM is highly preferred prior to their natural abundance, disposability, and low cost. This study aims to model a ReRAM computer memory based on gelatin nanocomposite and in this context each type of particle was coated on ITO substrates and integrated into gelatin and micron thick films. Aluminum metal electrodes have been deposited using a home-made thermal evaporator under a vacuum of <10-5-mbar and gelatin nanocomposites-based ReRAM cells have been developed usingdifferent classes of nano particles and the current voltage (I-V) characteristics of the sandwich structure were recorded by scanning the voltage. This analysis compared and established the memory behavior in the mentioned ReRAM cells by measuring I-V characteristics and a new type of switching has emerged within the butterfly type of hysteresis and memory behavior. The use of inorganic nanoparticles in the polymer matrix can provide high-performance novel materials that find applications in many industrial fields, and a vast range of organic and inorganic nanoparticles have been add as essences or fillers for the preparation of nanocomposites with improved desired properties.
