The increased study of electronics has lead to breakthroughs that have allowed technology such has CMOS to create smaller and faster devices. However, this scaling has slowed down due to problems such as power dissipation. Technologies such as memory devices are unable to keep up with market demand for smaller and lower powered devices. A lot of different solutions have been proposed to solve this problem, one of which has been the use of memristors. The advantages of this technology are, no-volatility, good scalability, and compatibility with CMOS devices. Memristors can be used to improve existing technologies such as memory, logic and neuromorphic devices. This dissertation will focus first on the study of various memristor models, then the implementation of the various models studied will be addressed, then a single model will be chosen that better fits the requirements necessary to develop logic gates. Then, using the chosen model, more complex circuits will be implemented, first circuits composed of two memristors, then logic gates circuits.
