Abstract
A new technical improvement in understanding the resistive switching characteristics of unipolar resistive random access memory (RRAM) is investigated. It is possible to minimize reset current (I-RESET), set voltage variation, and forming voltage (V-FORMING), which results in a wide sensing margin and high density applications by using a conducting filament (CF) minimized structure up to a 10 nm technology node. Its structural advantages enable I-RESET to be tuned with excellent manufacturability. Numerical simulation is also performed using a random circuit breaker (RCB) model, showing that the proposed structure elucidates the resistive switching improvement.
