Membranotronic devices are artificial neural membranes designed to mimic the functionality of biological neural networks [Adv. Funct. Mater., 32(24), 2200233 (2022)]. Negative differential resistance (NDR) is essential for their function. We present a physical model of a membranotronic device which generates NDR. It consists of a deformable membrane with holes allowing ion currents, which are modulated by a deformation resulting from an applied voltage. A mechanical model for micro-electro-mechanical systems describes the deformable membrane including holes. We perform a parameter variation study and show that our model can reproduce the NDR for a wide and physically reasonable range of parameter combinations. In essence, our work bridges the gap between artificial membranotronic devices and biological neural membrane by providing a robust physical model capable of emulating NDR, a key feature in the operation of such systems.
