Abstract :
The characteristics of a conductive filament in HfO2 RRAM is shown to be dependent on the duration of the current compliance overshoot, which may occur during the filament formation process. In addition to the overshoot amplitude, the filament resistance is found to be affected by the duration of the overshoot caused by the parasitic capacitance.
