摘要
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 that the cycle-to-cycle variation in the RRAM is mainly due to the variation in the 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.
