The development of highly integrated electrophysiological devices working in directcontact with living neuron tissue opens new exciting prospects in the fields ofneurophysiology and medicine, but imposes tight requirements on the power dissipatedby electronics. On-chip preprocessing of neuronal signals can substantially decrease thepower dissipated by external data interfaces, and the addition of embedded non-volatilememory would significantly improve the performance of a co-processor in real-timeprocessing of the incoming information stream from the neuron tissue. Here, we evaluatethe parameters of TaOx-based resistive switching (RS) memory devices produced bymagnetron sputtering technique and integrated with the 180-nm CMOS field-effecttransistors as possible candidates for on-chip memory in the hybrid neurointerfaceunder development. The electrical parameters of the optimized one-transistor–oneresistor (1T-1R) devices, such as the switching voltage (approx. ±1 V), uniformity ofthe Roff/Ron ratio (∼10), read/write speed (
