Abstract

The trap-assisted conduction and filamentary switching mechanisms of the HfOx-based resistive memory are studied. To reproduce the experimental I-V curves, a numerical simulator is developed. Comparison with experiments shows mat the cycle-to-cycle variation in the RRAM is mainly due to the variation in me gap distance between the filament tips and the electrode. A set of analytical equations suitable for compact modeling is then derived to capture the switching behavior of metal oxide-based RRAM (OxRRAM). By introducing the random perturbations of the gap size, the model successfully reproduces the measured resistance variation of the multi-level RRAM cell.
