Filament Geometry Induced Bipolar, Complementary, and Unipolar Resistive Switching under the Same Set Current Compliance in Pt/SiOx/TiN.

ABSTRACT: The decidedly unusual co-occurrence of bipolar, complementary, and unipolar resistive switching (BRS, CRS, and URS, respectively) behavior under the same high set current compliance (set-CC) is discussed on the basis of filament geometry in a Pt/SiOx/TiN stack. Set-CC-dependent scaling behavior with relations Ireset ~ R0(-α) and Vreset ~ R0(-β) differentiates BRS under low set-CC from other switching behaviors under high set-CC due to a low α and β involving a narrow filamentary path. Because such co-occurrence is observed only in the case of a high α and β involving a wide filamentary path, such a path can be classified into three different geometries according to switching behavior in detail. From the cyclic switching and a model simulation, we conclude that the reset of BRS originates from a narrower filamentary path near the top electrode than that of CRS due to the randomness of field-driven migration even under the same set-CC. Also, we conclude that URS originates from much narrower inversed conical filamentary path. Therefore, filament-geometry-dependent electric field and/or thermal effects can precisely describe the entire switching behaviors in this experiment.

Short-Term Memory Dynamics of TiN/Ti/TiO2/SiOx/Si Resistive Random Access Memory.

Project description:In this study, we investigated the synaptic functions of TiN/Ti/TiO2/SiOx/Si resistive random access memory for a neuromorphic computing system that can act as a substitute for the von-Neumann computing architecture. To process the data efficiently, it is necessary to coordinate the information that needs to be processed with short-term memory. In neural networks, short-term memory can play the role of retaining the response on temporary spikes for information filtering. In this study, the proposed complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible synaptic device mimics the potentiation and depression with varying pulse conditions similar to biological synapses in the nervous system. Short-term memory dynamics are demonstrated through pulse modulation at a set pulse voltage of -3.5 V and pulse width of 10 ms and paired-pulsed facilitation. Moreover, spike-timing-dependent plasticity with the change in synaptic weight is performed by the time difference between the pre- and postsynaptic neurons. The SiOx layer as a tunnel barrier on a Si substrate provides highly nonlinear current-voltage (I-V) characteristics in a low-resistance state, which is suitable for high-density synapse arrays. The results herein presented confirm the viability of implementing a CMOS-compatible neuromorphic chip.

Scaling effect on unipolar and bipolar resistive switching of metal oxides.

Project description:Electrically driven resistance change in metal oxides opens up an interdisciplinary research field for next-generation non-volatile memory. Resistive switching exhibits an electrical polarity dependent "bipolar-switching" and a polarity independent "unipolar-switching", however tailoring the electrical polarity has been a challenging issue. Here we demonstrate a scaling effect on the emergence of the electrical polarity by examining the resistive switching behaviors of Pt/oxide/Pt junctions over 8 orders of magnitudes in the areas. We show that the emergence of two electrical polarities can be categorised as a diagram of an electric field and a cell area. This trend is qualitatively common for various oxides including NiOx, CoOx, and TiO(2-x). We reveal the intrinsic difference between unipolar switching and bipolar switching on the area dependence, which causes a diversity of an electrical polarity for various resistive switching devices with different geometries. This will provide a foundation for tailoring resistive switching behaviors of metal oxides.

Synaptic Characteristics from Homogeneous Resistive Switching in Pt/Al2O3/TiN Stack.

Project description:In this work, we propose three types of resistive switching behaviors by controlling operation conditions. We confirmed well-known filamentary switching in Al2O3-based resistive switching memory using the conventional device working operation with a forming process. Here, filamentary switching can be classified into two types depending on the compliance current. On top of that, the homogeneous switching is obtained by using a negative differential resistance effect before the forming or setting process in a negative bias. The variations of the low-resistance and high-resistance states in the homogeneous switching are comparable to the filamentary switching cases. However, the drift characteristics of the low-resistance and high-resistance states in the homogeneous switching are unstable with time. Therefore, the short-term plasticity effects, such as the current decay in repeated pulses and paired pulses facilitation, are demonstrated when using the resistance drift characteristics. Finally, the conductance can be increased and decreased by 50 consecutive potentiation pulses and 50 consecutive depression pulses, respectively. The linear conductance update in homogeneous switching is achieved compared to the filamentary switching, which ensures the high pattern-recognition accuracy.

Anisotropic Magnetoresistance of Nano-conductive Filament in Co/HfO2/Pt Resistive Switching Memory.

Project description:Conductive bridge random access memory (CBRAM) has been extensively studied as a next-generation non-volatile memory. The conductive filament (CF) shows rich physical effects such as conductance quantization and magnetic effect. But so far, the study of filaments is not very sufficient. In this work, Co/HfO2/Pt CBRAM device with magnetic CF was designed and fabricated. By electrical manipulation with a partial-RESET method, we controlled the size of ferromagnetic metal filament. The resistance-temperature characteristics of the ON-state after various partial-RESET behaviors have been studied. Using two kinds of magnetic measurement methods, we measured the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) of the CF at different temperatures to reflect the magnetic structure characteristics. By rotating the direction of the magnetic field and by sweeping the magnitude, we obtained the spatial direction as well as the easy-axis of the CF. The results indicate that the easy-axis of the CF is along the direction perpendicular to the top electrode plane. The maximum magnetoresistance was found to appear when the angle between the direction of magnetic field and that of the electric current in the CF is about 30°, and this angle varies slightly with temperature, indicating that the current is tilted.

Self-Rectifying Resistive Switching and Short-Term Memory Characteristics in Pt/HfO2/TaOx/TiN Artificial Synaptic Device.

Project description:Here, we propose a Pt/HfO2/TaOx/TiN artificial synaptic device that is an excellent candidate for artificial synapses. First, XPS analysis is conducted to provide the dielectric (HfO2/TaOx/TiN) information deposited by DC sputtering and atomic layer deposition (ALD). The self-rectifying resistive switching characteristics are achieved by the asymmetric device stack, which is an advantage of the current suppression in the crossbar array structure. The results show that the programmed data are lost over time and that the decay rate, which is verified from the retention test, can be adjusted by controlling the compliance current (CC). Based on these properties, we emulate bio-synaptic characteristics, such as short-term plasticity (STP), long-term plasticity (LTP), and paired-pulse facilitation (PPF), in the self-rectifying I-V characteristics of the Pt/HfO2/TaOx/TiN bilayer memristor device. The PPF characteristics are mimicked by replacing the bio-stimulation with the interval time of paired pulse inputs. The typical potentiation and depression are also implemented by optimizing the set and reset pulse. Finally, we demonstrate the natural depression by varying the interval time between pulse inputs.

Switching Power Universality in Unipolar Resistive Switching Memories.

Project description:We investigate the resistive switching power from unipolar resistive switching current-voltage characteristics in various binary metal oxide films sandwiched by different metal electrodes, and find a universal feature (the so-called universality) in the switching power among these devices. To experimentally derive the switching power universality, systematic measurements of the switching voltage and current are performed, and neither of these correlate with one another. As the switching resistance (R) increases, the switching power (P) decreases following a power law P???R(-?), regardless of the device configurations. The observed switching power universality is indicative of the existence of a commonly applicable switching mechanism. The origin of the power universality is discussed based on a metallic filament model and thermo-chemical reaction.

Controlled synthesis of Ni/CuOx/Ni nanowires by electrochemical deposition with self-compliance bipolar resistive switching.

Project description:We demonstrate synthesis of Ni/CuOx/Ni nanowires (NWs) by electrochemical deposition on anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes. AAO with pore diameter of ~70 nm and pore length of ~50 μm was used as the template for synthesis of NWs. After deposition of Au as the seed layer, NWs with a structure of Ni/CuOx/Ni were grown with a length of ~12 μm. The lengths of 1(st) Ni, CuOx, and 2(nd) Ni were ~4.5 μm, ~3 μm, and ~4.5 μm, respectively. The Ni/CuOx/Ni device exhibits bipolar resistive switching behavior with self-compliance characteristics. Due to the spatial restriction of the current path in NW the Ni/CuOx/Ni NW devices are thought to exhibit self-compliance behaviour. Ni/CuOx/Ni NWs showed bipolar resistive changes possibly due to conducting filaments that are induced by oxygen vacancies. The reliability of the devices was confirmed by data retention measurement. The NW-based resistive switching memory has applications in highly scalable memory devices and neuromorphic 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.

Resistive switching and its suppression in Pt/Nb:SrTiO3 junctions.

Project description:Oxide-based resistive switching devices are promising candidates for new memory and computing technologies. Poor understanding of the defect-based mechanisms that give rise to resistive switching is a major impediment for engineering reliable and reproducible devices. Here we identify an unintentional interface layer as the origin of resistive switching in Pt/Nb:SrTiO3 junctions. We clarify the microscopic mechanisms by which the interface layer controls the resistive switching. We show that appropriate interface processing can eliminate this contribution. These findings are an important step towards engineering more reliable resistive switching devices.
