摘要
We propose an epitaxial punchthrough diode for bipolar resistance RAM (RRAM) selector application. Epitaxial Si: C process is used to deposit n(+)/p/n(+) layers which are fabricated into 300-nm-diameter vertical punchthrough diodes. High on-current density of > 1 MA/cm(2) and high on/off current ratio of > 250 and > 4700 (at opposite polarities) are observed. A switching speed of < 10 ns is measured. On-voltage designability is demonstrated by tuning the p-region doping and length. The comparison of experimental IV with Sentaurus TCAD-simulated IV characteristics confirms the punchthrough mechanism. Comparison with other bipolar RRAM selector technologies highlights the overall advantages of punchthrough-based selector.
