Memtransistors that combine the properties of transistor and memristor hold significant promise for in-memory computing. While superior data storage capability is achieved in memtransistors through gate voltage-induced conductance modulation, lateral device configuration would not only result high write bias, which compromises power efficiency, but also suffers from unsuccessful memory reset leads to reliability concerns. To circumvent such performance limitations, an advanced physics-based...
