Physical electro-thermal model of resistive switching in bi-layered resistance-change memory.

ABSTRACT: Tantalum-oxide-based bi-layered resistance-change memories (RRAMs) have recently improved greatly with regard to their memory performances. The formation and rupture of conductive filaments is generally known to be the mechanism that underlies resistive switching. The nature of the filament has been studied intensively and several phenomenological models have consistently predicted the resistance-change behavior. However, a physics-based model that describes a complete bi-layered RRAM structure has not yet been demonstrated. Here, a complete electro-thermal resistive switching model based on the finite element method is proposed. The migration of oxygen vacancies is simulated by the local temperature and electric field derived from carrier continuity and heat equations fully coupled in a 3-D geometry, which considers a complete bi-layered structure that includes the top and bottom electrodes. The proposed model accurately accounts for the set/reset characteristics, which provides an in-depth understanding of the nature of resistive switching.

Low-Power Resistive Switching Characteristic in HfO2/TiOx Bi-Layer Resistive Random-Access Memory.

Project description:Resistive random-access memory devices with atomic layer deposition HfO2 and radio frequency sputtering TiOx as resistive switching layers were fabricated successfully. Low-power characteristic with 1.52 μW set power (1 μA@1.52 V) and 1.12 μW reset power (1 μA@1.12 V) was obtained in the HfO2/TiOx resistive random-access memory (RRAM) devices by controlling the oxygen content of the TiOx layer. Besides, the influence of oxygen content during the TiOx sputtering process on the resistive switching properties would be discussed in detail. The investigations indicated that "soft breakdown" occurred easily during the electrical forming/set process in the HfO2/TiOx RRAM devices with high oxygen content of the TiOx layer, resulting in high resistive switching power. Low-power characteristic was obtained in HfO2/TiOx RRAM devices with appropriately high oxygen vacancy density of TiOx layer, suggesting that the appropriate oxygen vacancy density in the TiOx layer could avoid "soft breakdown" through the whole dielectric layers during forming/set process, thus limiting the current flowing through the RRAM device and decreasing operating power consumption.

Self-Compliant Bipolar Resistive Switching in SiN-Based Resistive Switching Memory.

Project description:Here, we present evidence of self-compliant and self-rectifying bipolar resistive switching behavior in Ni/SiNx/n⁺ Si and Ni/SiNx/n++ Si resistive-switching random access memory devices. The Ni/SiNx/n++ Si device's Si bottom electrode had a higher dopant concentration (As ion > 1019 cm-3) than the Ni/SiNx/n⁺ Si device; both unipolar and bipolar resistive switching behaviors were observed for the higher dopant concentration device owing to a large current overshoot. Conversely, for the device with the lower dopant concentration (As ion < 1018 cm-3), self-rectification and self-compliance were achieved owing to the series resistance of the Si bottom electrode.

Reversible switching mode change in Ta2O5-based resistive switching memory (ReRAM).

Project description:We report the complementary resistive switching (CRS) behaviors in a tantalum-oxide based resistive switching memory device that reversibly changes its switching mode between bipolar switching (BRS) and CRS in a single memory cell depending on the operation (compliance current) and fabrication (oxygen scavenger layer thickness) conditions. In addition, the origin of the switching mode transition was investigated through electrical and optical measurement, where the conductance is believed to be determined by two factors: formation of conductive filament and modulation of Schottky barrier. This result helps design a resistive switching device with desirable and stable switching behavior.

Non-thermal resistive switching in Mott insulator nanowires.

Project description:Resistive switching can be achieved in a Mott insulator by applying current/voltage, which triggers an insulator-metal transition (IMT). This phenomenon is key for understanding IMT physics and developing novel memory elements and brain-inspired technology. Despite this, the roles of electric field and Joule heating in the switching process remain controversial. Using nanowires of two archetypal Mott insulators-VO2 and V2O3 we unequivocally show that a purely non-thermal electrical IMT can occur in both materials. The mechanism behind this effect is identified as field-assisted carrier generation leading to a doping driven IMT. This effect can be controlled by similar means in both VO2 and V2O3, suggesting that the proposed mechanism is generally applicable to Mott insulators. The energy consumption associated with the non-thermal IMT is extremely low, rivaling that of state-of-the-art electronics and biological neurons. These findings pave the way towards highly energy-efficient applications of Mott insulators.

Bi-stable resistive switching characteristics in Ti-doped ZnO thin films.

Project description:Ti-doped ZnO (ZnO/Ti) thin films were grown on indium tin oxide substrates by a facile electrodeposition route. The morphology, crystal structure and resistive switching properties were examined, respectively. The morphology reveals that grains are composed of small crystals. The (002) preferential growth along c-axis of ZnO/Ti could be observed from structural analysis. The XPS study shows the presence of oxygen vacancies in the prepared films. Typical bipolar and reversible resistance switching effects were observed. High ROFF/RON ratios (approximately 14) and low operation voltages within 100 switching cycles are obtained. The filament theory and the interface effect are suggested to be responsible for the resistive switching phenomenon.

Statistical characteristics of reset switching in Cu/HfO2/Pt resistive switching memory.

Project description:A major challenge of resistive switching memory (resistive random access memory (RRAM)) for future application is how to reduce the fluctuation of the resistive switching parameters. In this letter, with a statistical methodology, we have systematically analyzed the reset statistics of the conductive bridge random access memory (CBRAM) with a Cu/HfO2/Pt structure which displays bipolar switching property. The experimental observations show that the distributions of the reset voltage (V reset) and reset current (I reset) are greatly influenced by the initial on-state resistance (R on) which is closely related to the size of the conductive filament (CF) before the reset process. The reset voltage increases and the current decreases with the on-state resistance, respectively, according to the scatter plots of the experimental data. Using resistance screening method, the statistical data of the reset voltage and current are decomposed into several ranges and the distributions of them in each range are analyzed by the Weibull model. Both the Weibull slopes of the reset voltage and current are demonstrated to be independent of the on-state resistance which indicates that no CF dissolution occurs before the reset point. The scale factor of the reset voltage increases with on-state resistance while that of the reset current decreases with it. These behaviors are fully in consistency with the thermal dissolution model, which gives an insight on the physical mechanism of the reset switching. Our work has provided an inspiration on effectively reducing the variation of the switching parameters of RRAM devices.

Nonvolatile Resistive Switching Memory Utilizing Cobalt Embedded in Gelatin.

Project description:This study investigates the preparation and electrical properties of Al/cobalt-embedded gelatin (CoG)/ indium tin oxide (ITO) resistive switching memories. Co. elements can be uniformly distributed in gelatin without a conventional dispersion procedure, as confirmed through energy dispersive X-ray analyzer and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy observations. With an appropriate Co. concentration, Co. ions can assist the formation of an interfacial AlOx layer and improve the memory properties. High ON/OFF ratio, good retention capability, and good endurance switching cycles are demonstrated with 1 M Co. concentration, in contrast to 0.5 M and 2 M memory devices. This result can be attributed to the suitable thickness of the interfacial AlOx layer, which acts as an oxygen reservoir and stores and releases oxygen during switching. The Co. element in a solution-processed gelatin matrix has high potential for bio-electronic applications.

Tuning of resistive memory switching in electropolymerized metallopolymeric films.

Project description:A diruthenium complex capped with two triphenylamine units was polymerized by electrochemical oxidation to afford metallopolymeric films with alternating diruthenium and tetraphenylbenzidine structures. The obtained thin films feature rich redox processes associated with the reduction of the bridging ligands (tetra(pyrid-2-yl)pyrazine) and the oxidation of the tetraphenylbenzidine and diruthenium segments. The sandwiched ITO/polymer film/Al electrical devices show excellent resistive memory switching with a low operational voltage, large ON/OFF current ratio (100-1000), good stability (500 cycles tested), and long retention time. In stark contrast, devices with polymeric films of a related monoruthenium complex show poor memory performance. The mechanism of the field-induced conductivity of the diruthenium polymer film is rationalized by the formation of a charge transfer state, as supported by DFT calculations.

Thermoelectric Seebeck effect in oxide-based resistive switching memory.

Project description:Reversible resistive switching induced by an electric field in oxide-based resistive switching memory shows a promising application in future information storage and processing. It is believed that there are some local conductive filaments formed and ruptured in the resistive switching process. However, as a fundamental question, how electron transports in the formed conductive filament is still under debate due to the difficulty to directly characterize its physical and electrical properties. Here we investigate the intrinsic electronic transport mechanism in such conductive filament by measuring thermoelectric Seebeck effects. We show that the small-polaron hopping model can well describe the electronic transport process for all resistance states, although the corresponding temperature-dependent resistance behaviours are contrary. Moreover, at low resistance states, we observe a clear semiconductor-metal transition around 150 K. These results provide insight in understanding resistive switching process and establish a basic framework for modelling resistive switching behaviour.

Memristive tonotopic mapping with volatile resistive switching memory devices.

Project description:To reach the energy efficiency and the computing capability of biological neural networks, novel hardware systems and paradigms are required where the information needs to be processed in both spatial and temporal domains. Resistive switching memory (RRAM) devices appear as key enablers for the implementation of large-scale neuromorphic computing systems with high energy efficiency and extended scalability. Demonstrating a full set of spatiotemporal primitives with RRAM-based circuits remains an open challenge. By taking inspiration from the neurobiological processes in the human auditory systems, we develop neuromorphic circuits for memristive tonotopic mapping via volatile RRAM devices. Based on a generalized stochastic device-level approach, we demonstrate the main features of signal processing of cochlea, namely logarithmic integration and tonotopic mapping of signals. We also show that our tonotopic classification is suitable for speech recognition. These results support memristive devices for physical processing of temporal signals, thus paving the way for energy efficient, high density neuromorphic systems.
