Effects of Electrodes on the Switching Behavior of Strontium Titanate Nickelate Resistive Random Access Memory.

ABSTRACT: Strontium titanate nickelate (STN) thin films on indium tin oxide (ITO)/glass substrate were synthesized using the sol-gel method for resistive random access memory (RRAM) applications. Aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), tungsten (W), gold (Au) and platinum (Pt) were used as top electrodes in the STN-based RRAM to probe the switching behavior. The bipolar resistive switching behavior of the set and reset voltages is in opposite bias in the Al/STN/ITO and Pt/STN/ITO RRAMs, which can be partly ascribed to the different work functions of top electrodes in the ITO. Analyses of the fitting results and temperature-dependent performances showed that the Al/STN/ITO switching was mainly attributed to the absorption/release of oxygen-based functional groups, whereas the Pt/STN/ITO switching can be associated with the diffusion of metal electrode ions. The Al/STN/ITO RRAM demonstrated a high resistance ratio of >10⁶ between the high-resistance state (HRS) and the low-resistance state (LRS), as well as a retention ability of >10⁵ s. Furthermore, the Pt/STN/ITO RRAM displayed a HRS/LRS resistance ratio of >10³ and a retention ability of >10⁵ s.

Sustained Resistive Switching in a Single Cu:7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane Nanowire: A Promising Material for Resistive Random Access Memory.

Project description:We report a new type of sustained and reversible unipolar resistive switching in a nanowire device made from a single strand of Cu:7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (Cu:TCNQ) nanowire (diameter <100 nm) that shows high ON/OFF ratio (~10(3)), low threshold voltage of switching (~3.5 V) and large cycling endurance (>10(3)). This indicates a promising material for high density resistive random access memory (ReRAM) device integration. Switching is observed in Cu:TCNQ single nanowire devices with two different electrode configuration: symmetric (C-Pt/Cu:TCNQ/C-Pt) and asymmetric (Cu/Cu:TCNQ/C-Pt), where contacts connecting the nanowire play an important role. This report also developed a method of separating out the electrode and material contributions in switching using metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) device model along with a direct 4-probe resistivity measurement of the nanowire in the OFF as well as ON state. The device model was followed by a phenomenological model of current transport through the nanowire device which shows that lowering of potential barrier at the contacts likely occur due to formation of Cu filaments in the interface between nanowire and contact electrodes. We obtain quantitative agreement of numerically analyzed results with the experimental switching data.

Unraveling the Role of Polydopamines in Resistive Switching in Al/Polydopamine/Al Structure for Organic Resistive Random-Access Memory.

Project description:In an era of rapidly evolving artificial intelligence and 5G communications technologies, massive data storage and processing are required for the real-time operation of digital processors in conventional wearable devices. However, classical von-Neumann architecture computers are limited by bottleneck-related issues. As a solution, resistive random-access memory (RRAM) devices are being considered as next generation in-memory computing devices. Among various materials, a polydopamine (PDA) is an attractive candidate for the fabrication of wearable and flexible RRAM devices. Herein, an aluminum/PDA/aluminum structure is proposed to investigate the influence of the PDA layer on resistive switching. The resistance-switching characteristics of an Al/PDA/Al structure are investigated by changing the PDA's coating time and an on/off ratio of 2.48 × 103 is recorded. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals the presence of an Al2O3 layer in Al/PDA/Al structure, and the contents of oxygen vacancies are changed according to PDA coating time. Conductive filaments in the PDA/Al structure are confirmed by conductive atomic-force microscopy. As an application, a flexible Al/PDA/Al structure is fabricated using polyethylene terephthalate substrate and its operation is successfully confirmed. These results describe the resistive-switching characteristics, including oxygen vacancies, of Al/PDA/Al structures and provide new ways of understanding the resistive-switching mechanism of PDA-based RRAM devices.

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.

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.

Switching operation and degradation of resistive random access memory composed of tungsten oxide and copper investigated using in-situ TEM.

Project description:In-situ transmission electron microscopy (in-situ TEM) was performed to investigate the switching operation of a resistive random access memory (ReRAM) made of copper, tungsten oxide and titanium nitride (Cu/WOx/TiN). In the first Set (Forming) operation to initialize the device, precipitation appeared inside the WOx layer. It was presumed that a Cu conducting filament was formed, lowering the resistance (on-state). The Reset operation induced a higher resistance (the off-state). No change in the microstructure was identified in the TEM images. Only when an additional Reset current was applied after switching to the off-state could erasure of the filament be seen (over-Reset). Therefore, it was concluded that structural change relating to the resistance switch was localized in a very small area around the filament. With repeated switching operations and increasing operational current, the WOx/electrode interfaces became indistinct. At the same time, the resistance of the off-state gradually decreased. This is thought to be caused by Cu condensation at the interfaces because of leakage current through the area other than through the filament. This will lead to device degradation through mechanisms such as endurance failure. This is the first accelerated aging test of ReRAM achieved using in-situ TEM.

A Plasmonic Optoelectronic Resistive Random-Access Memory for In-Sensor Color Image Cryptography.

Project description:The optoelectronic resistive random-access memory (RRAM) with the integrated function of perception, storage and intrinsic randomness displays promising applications in the hardware level in-sensor image cryptography. In this work, 2D hexagonal boron nitride based optoelectronic RRAM is fabricated with semitransparent noble metal (Ag or Au) as top electrodes, which can simultaneous capture color image and generate physically unclonable function (PUF) key for in-sensor color image cryptography. Surface plasmons of noble metals enable the strong light absorption to realize an efficient modulation of filament growth at nanoscale. Resistive switching curves show that the optical stimuli can impede the filament aggregation and promote the filament annihilation, which originates from photothermal effects and photogenerated hot electrons in localized surface plasmon resonance of noble metals. By selecting noble metals, the optoelectronic RRAM array can respond to distinct wavelengths and mimic the biological dichromatic cone cells to perform the color perception. Due to the intrinsic and high-quality randomness, the optoelectronic RRAM can produce a PUF key in every exposure cycle, which can be applied in the reconfigurable cryptography. The findings demonstrate an effective strategy to build optoelectronic RRAM for in-sensor color image cryptography applications.

A comprehensive investigation of MoO3 based resistive random access memory.

Project description:The bipolar resistive switching of molybdenum oxide is deliberated while molybdenum and nickel are used as bottom and top electrodes, respectively, to present a device with resistive random access memory (RRAM) characteristics. For the trilayered structure, the SET voltage lies around 3.3 V and RESET voltage is observed to be in the -2.3 V to -2.7 V range. The conduction mechanism has been observed and revealed for the Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM) structure which is a space-charge-limited current mechanism that follows both ohmic conduction and Child's law. Furthermore, a theoretical study has been performed by using density functional theory (DFT) to evaluate the resistance switching role of molybdenum oxide (MoO3). The structure has been studied with oxygen vacancy sites induced into the system which shows the reduction in bandgap, whereas an indirect bandgap of 1.9 eV and a direct bandgap of 3.1 eV are calculated for molybdenum oxide. Conclusively, the formation of a conduction filament which is fundamental for resistive switching has been explained through band structure and density of states per eV for oxygen vacancy structures of molybdenum oxide. The current work presents an in-depth understanding of the resistive switching mechanism involved in MoO3 based resistive random access memory devices for future data storage applications.

Modeling of electron conduction in contact resistive random access memory devices as random telegraph noise.

Project description:The intense development and study of resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices has opened a new era in semiconductor memory manufacturing. Resistive switching and carrier conduction inside RRAM films have become critical issues in recent years. Electron trapping/detrapping behavior is observed and investigated in the proposed contact resistive random access memory (CR-RAM) cell. Through the fitting of the space charge limiting current (SCLC) model, and analysis in terms of the random telegraph noise (RTN) model, the temperature-dependence of resistance levels and the high-temperature data retention behavior of the contact RRAM film are successfully and completely explained. Detail analyses of the electron capture and emission from the traps by forward and reverse read measurements provide further verifications for hopping conduction mechanism and current fluctuation discrepancies.

Improved Intrinsic Nonlinear Characteristics of Ta2O5/Al2O3-Based Resistive Random-Access Memory for High-Density Memory Applications.

Project description:The major hindrance for high-density application of two-terminal resistive random-access memory (RRAM) array design is unintentional sneak path leakage through adjacent cells. Herein, we propose a bilayer structure of Ta2O5/Al2O3-based bipolar type RRAM by evaluating the intrinsic nonlinear characteristics without integration with an additional transistor and selector device. We conducted X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis with different etching times to verify Ta2O5/Al2O3 layers deposited on the TiN bottom electrode. The optimized nonlinear properties with current suppression are obtained by varying Al2O3 thickness. The maximum nonlinearity (~71) is achieved in a Ta2O5/Al2O3 (3 nm) sample. Furthermore, we estimated the comparative read margin based on the I-V characteristics with different thicknesses of Al2O3 film for the crossbar array applications. We expect that this study about the effect of the Al2O3 tunnel barrier thickness on Ta2O5-based memristors could provide a guideline for developing a selector-less RRAM application.
