Analysis of set and reset mechanisms in Ni/HfO2-based RRAM with fast ramped voltages

The resistive switching phenomenon is analyzed using a purposely developed setup which allows fast ramped voltages and measurements in the time domain.Taking advantage of these capabilities, the Set and Reset processes in Ni/HfO2 structures have been studied for a large range of voltage ramp speeds....

Description
Summary:The resistive switching phenomenon is analyzed using a purposely developed setup which allows fast ramped voltages and measurements in the time domain.Taking advantage of these capabilities, the Set and Reset processes in Ni/HfO2 structures have been studied for a large range of voltage ramp speeds. The results obtained show that Set and Reset voltages increase with voltage ramp speed. The use of time domain measurements has allowed concluding that a critical energy is needed to trigger the Set and Reset processes, independently of the biasing conditions.
