Memristive crossbar arrays(MCAs)offer parallel data storage and processing for energy-efficient neuromorphic com-puting.However,most wafer-scale MCAs that are compatible with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor(CMOS)technology still suffer from substantially larger energy consumption than biological synapses,due to the slow kinetics of forming conductive paths inside the memristive units.Here we report wafer-scale Ag2S-based MCAs realized using CMOS-compatible processes at temperatures below 160℃.Ag2S electrolytes supply highly mobile Ag+ions,and provide the Ag/Ag2S interface with low silver nucleation barrier to form silver filaments at low energy costs.By further enhancing Ag+migration in Ag2S electrolytes via microstructure modulation,the integrated memristors exhibit a record low threshold of approximately-0.1 V,and demonstrate ultra-low switching-energies reaching femtojoule values as observed in biological synapses.The low-temperature process also enables MCA integration on polyimide substrates for applications in flexible elec-tronics.Moreover,the intrinsic nonidealities of the memristive units for deep learning can be compensated by employing an advanced training algorithm.An impressive accuracy of 92.6%in image recognition simulations is demonstrated with the MCAs after the compensation.The demonstrated MCAs provide a promising device option for neuromorphic computing with ultra-high energy-efficiency.
