Sneak path current is a fundamental issue and a major roadblock to the wide application of memristor crossbar arrays. Traditional selectors such as transistors compromise the 2D scalability and 3D stack‐ability of the array, while emerging selectors with highly nonlinear current–voltage relations contradict the requirement of a linear current–voltage relation for efficient multiplication by directly using Ohm's law. Herein, the concept of a timing selector is proposed and demonstrated, which addresses the sneak path issue with a voltage‐dependent delay time of its transient switching behavior, while preserving a linear current–voltage relationship for computation. Crossbar arrays with silver‐based diffusive memristors as the timing selectors are built and the operation principle and operational windows are experimentally demonstrated. The timing selector enables large memristor crossbar arrays that can be used to …
