On the Switching Parameter Variation of Metal-Oxide RRAM—Part I: Physical Modeling and Simulation Methodology

Guan, Ximeng, Yu, Shimeng, Wong, H.-S. Philip·2012·IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices

Abstract

The variation of switching parameters is one of the major challenges to both the scaling and volume production of metal-oxide-based resistive random-access memories (RRAMs). In this two-part paper, the source of such parameter variation is analyzed by a physics-based simulator, which is equipped with the capability to simulate a large number ( ~1000) of cyclic SET-RESET operations. By comparing the simulation results with experimental data, it is found that the random current fluctuation experimentally observed in the RESET processes is caused by the competition between trap generation and recombination, whereas the variation of the high resistance states and the tail bits are directly correlated to the randomness of the trap dynamics. A combined strategy with a bilayer dielectric material and a write-verification technique is proposed to minimize the resistance variation. We describe the simulation methodology and discuss the dc results in Part I. The corroboration of the model and the device optimization strategy will be discussed in Part II.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
