Electrochemical Oxidation Induced Multi-Level Memory in Carbon-Based Resistive Switching Devices.

ABSTRACT: In this work, we report for the first time the electrochemical oxidation as a technique to improve the electrical performances of carbon-based resistive switching devices. The devices obtained through the anodic oxidation of carbon-structures possess superior electrical performances i.e. a 3-level memory behavior and an ON/OFF ratio two order of magnitude higher than the non-oxidized carbon-based devices. It is demonstrated that the chemical composition of the carbon structures (i.e. percentage of oxygen groups, sp2 and sp3 carbon atoms) plays a key role in the improvement of the carbon-based devices. The electrochemical oxidation allows the possibility to control the oxidation degree, and therefore, to tailor the devices electrical performances. We demonstrated that the resistive switching behavior in the electrochemically oxidized devices is originated from the formation of conductive filament paths, which are built from the oxygen vacancies and structural defects of the anodic oxidized carbon materials. The novelty of this work relies on the anodic oxidation as a time- and cost-effective technique that can be employed for the engineering and improvement of the electrical performances of next generation carbon-based resistive switching devices.

Study of multi-level characteristics for 3D vertical resistive switching memory.

Project description:Three-dimensional (3D) integration and multi-level cell (MLC) are two attractive technologies to achieve ultra-high density for mass storage applications. In this work, a three-layer 3D vertical AlO?/Ta2O5-x/TaOy resistive random access memories were fabricated and characterized. The vertical cells in three layers show good uniformity and high performance (e.g. >1000X HRS/LRS windows, >10(10) endurance cycles, >10(4) s retention times at 125°C). Meanwhile, four level MLC is demonstrated with two operation strategies, current controlled scheme (CCS) and voltage controlled scheme (VCS). The switching mechanism of 3D vertical RRAM cells is studied based on temperature-dependent transport characteristics. Furthermore, the applicability of CCS and VCS in 3D vertical RRAM array is compared using resistor network circuit simulation.

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.

Ratio-based multi-level resistive memory cells.

Project description:Ratio-based encoding has recently been proposed for single-level resistive memory cells, in which the resistance ratio of a pair of resistance-switching devices, rather than the resistance of a single device (i.e. resistance-based encoding), is used for encoding single-bit information, which significantly reduces the bit error probability. Generalizing this concept for multi-level cells, we propose a ratio-based information encoding mechanism and demonstrate its advantages over the resistance-based encoding for designing multi-level memory systems. We derive a closed-form expression for the bit error probability of ratio-based and resistance-based encodings as a function of the number of levels of the memory cell, the variance of the distribution of the resistive states, and the ON/OFF ratio of the resistive device, from which we prove that for a multi-level memory system using resistance-based encoding with bit error probability x, its corresponding bit error probability using ratio-based encoding will be reduced to [Formula: see text] at the best case and [Formula: see text] at the worst case. We experimentally validated these findings on multiple resistance-switching devices and show that, compared to the resistance-based encoding on the same resistive devices, our approach achieves up to 3 orders of magnitude lower bit error probability, or alternatively it could reduce the cell's programming time and programming energy by up 5-10[Formula: see text], while achieving the same bit error probability.

Origin of multi-level switching and telegraphic noise in organic nanocomposite memory devices.

Project description:The origin of negative differential resistance (NDR) and its derivative intermediate resistive states (IRSs) of nanocomposite memory systems have not been clearly analyzed for the past decade. To address this issue, we investigate the current fluctuations of organic nanocomposite memory devices with NDR and the IRSs under various temperature conditions. The 1/f noise scaling behaviors at various temperature conditions in the IRSs and telegraphic noise in NDR indicate the localized current pathways in the organic nanocomposite layers for each IRS. The clearly observed telegraphic noise with a long characteristic time in NDR at low temperature indicates that the localized current pathways for the IRSs are attributed to trapping/de-trapping at the deep trap levels in NDR. This study will be useful for the development and tuning of multi-bit storable organic nanocomposite memory device systems.

Conduction Mechanisms on High Retention Annealed MgO-based Resistive Switching Memory Devices.

Project description:We report on the conduction mechanisms of novel Ru/MgO/Cu and Ru/MgO/Ta resistive switching memory (RSM) devices. Current-voltage (I-V) measurements revealed Schottky emission (SE) as the dominant conduction mechanism in the high resistance state (HRS), which was validated by varying temperatures and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results. Retention of more than 10 years at 85 °C was obtained for both Ru/MgO/Ta and Ru/MgO/Cu RSM devices. In addition, annealing processes greatly improved the consistency of HRS and LRS switching paths from cycle to cycle, exhibiting an average ON/OFF ratio of 102. Further TEM studies also highlighted the difference in crystallinity between different materials in Ru/MgO/Cu RSM devices, confirming Cu filament identification which was found to be 10 nm in width.

Self-assembled nanostructured resistive switching memory devices fabricated by templated bottom-up growth.

Project description:Metal-oxide-based resistive switching memory device has been studied intensively due to its potential to satisfy the requirements of next-generation memory devices. Active research has been done on the materials and device structures of resistive switching memory devices that meet the requirements of high density, fast switching speed, and reliable data storage. In this study, resistive switching memory devices were fabricated with nano-template-assisted bottom up growth. The electrochemical deposition was adopted to achieve the bottom-up growth of nickel nanodot electrodes. Nickel oxide layer was formed by oxygen plasma treatment of nickel nanodots at low temperature. The structures of fabricated nanoscale memory devices were analyzed with scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscope (AFM). The electrical characteristics of the devices were directly measured using conductive AFM. This work demonstrates the fabrication of resistive switching memory devices using self-assembled nanoscale masks and nanomateirals growth from bottom-up electrochemical deposition.

Controlled inter-state switching between quantized conductance states in resistive devices for multilevel memory.

Project description:A detailed understanding of quantization conductance (QC), the correlation with resistive switching phenomena and controlled manipulation of quantized states is crucial for realizing atomic-scale multilevel memory elements. Here, we demonstrate highly stable and reproducible quantized conductance states (QC-states) in Al/niobium oxide/Pt resistive switching devices. Three levels of control over the QC-states, required for multilevel quantized state memories, like, switching ON to different quantized states, switching OFF from quantized states, and controlled inter-state switching among one QC state to another has been demonstrated by imposing limiting conditions of stop-voltage and current compliance. The well-defined multiple QC states along with a working principle for switching among various states show promise for implementation of multilevel memory devices.

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.

Transparent multi-level resistive switching phenomena observed in ITO/RGO/ITO memory cells by the sol-gel dip-coating method.

Project description:A reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-based transparent electronic memory cell with multi-level resistive switching (RS) was successfully realized by a dip-coating method. Using ITO/RGO/ITO structures, the memory device exhibited a transmittance above 80% (including the substrate) in the visible region and multi-level RS behavior in the 00, 01, 10, and 11 states by varying the pulse height from 2 V to 7 V. In the reliability test, the device exhibited a good endurance of over 10(5) cycles and a long data retention of over 10(5) s at 85°C in each state. We believe that the RGO-based transparent memory presented in this work could be a milestone for future transparent electronic devices.

Variance-aware weight quantization of multi-level resistive switching devices based on Pt/LaAlO<sub>3</sub>/SrTiO<sub>3</sub> heterostructures.

Project description:Resistive switching devices have been regarded as a promising candidate of multi-bit memristors for synaptic applications. The key functionality of the memristors is to realize multiple non-volatile conductance states with high precision. However, the variation of device conductance inevitably causes the state-overlap issue, limiting the number of available states. The insufficient number of states and the resultant inaccurate weight quantization are bottlenecks in developing practical memristors. Herein, we demonstrate a resistive switching device based on Pt/LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (Pt/LAO/STO) heterostructures, which is suitable for multi-level memristive applications. By redistributing the surface oxygen vacancies, we precisely control the tunneling of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) through the ultrathin LAO barrier, achieving multiple and tunable conductance states (over 27) in a non-volatile way. To further improve the multi-level switching performance, we propose a variance-aware weight quantization (VAQ) method. Our simulation studies verify that the VAQ effectively reduces the state-overlap issue of the resistive switching device. We also find that the VAQ states can better represent the normal-like data distribution and, thus, significantly improve the computing accuracy of the device. Our results provide valuable insight into developing high-precision multi-bit memristors based on complex oxide heterostructures for neuromorphic applications.
