Conductive Filament Expansion in TaO

概要

論文の詳細を見る
The post-cycling data retention of filamentary operated resistive random access memory (ReRAM) can be improved by minimizing conductive filament expansion during pulse cycling. We find that filament size gradually grows with increasing pulse cycles due to oxygen diffusion from the region surrounding each filament. To achieve long term use of ReRAM while suppressing filament expansion, the key is to control both electric power and pulse width input during switching. We minimize CF expansion based on this concept and demonstrate long data retention even after 10^{6} pulse switchings under optimized reset conditions.
