Functional nanoinks for fully printed passive and active resistive switching devices

Abstract

Nanoparticle ink compositions are disclosed. The nanoparticle ink compositions are printable. The nanoparticle ink compositions include a highly resistive nanoparticle and a conductive nanoparticle in a carrier. Methods of manufacturing microscale assemblies are also disclosed. The methods include printing at least one layer of a nanoparticle ink composition onto a substrate adjacent at least one metallic or conductive electrode. The microscale assemblies form at least one component of a neuromorphic computing chip, a photonic or chemical sensor, or a quantum computation chip. The microscale assemblies exhibit properties of a nanoscale assembly. Switching matrix to produce wide range of circuit configurations is disclosed.
