摘要：This paper reports the first successful fabrication of an ITO/silkworm hemolymph/Al bio-memristor using silkworm hemolymph as the active layer. Experiments demonstrate that the silkworm hemolymph bio-memristor is a nonvolatile rewritable bipolar memory device with a current switching ratio exceeding 103. The state of the bio-memristor can be retained for more than 104 seconds and remains stable for at least 500 cycles. Tests of 1/f noise have shown that the resistance switching characteristics of the silkworm hemolymph bio-memristor are related to the formation and breaking of conductive filaments, which result from the migration of oxygen ions and the oxidation and reduction of metal cations in the silkworm hemolymph film. The naturally non-toxic silkworm hemolymph offers advantages for human health, environmental protection, and biocompatibility. The proposed nonvolatile rewritable bio-memristor based on silkworm hemolymph possesses great application potential.
