Description
Summary:Resistive switching memory (RRAM) is attracting strong interest for prolonging Moore's law of future-generation memory and logic circuits. To enable the design of stand-alone and embedded RRAM, however, physically-based compact models are needed. This work presents a new analytical model for HfO 2 -based RRAM and of the complementary resistive switch (CRS), consisting of an antiserial connection of two resistive devices. The model is validated against switching characteristics at increasing pulse width for both RRAM and CRS. The impact of the oxide resistivity on the CRS characteristics is discussed, highlighting the trade-off between off-state leakage and set/reset window.
