Abstract :
Here for the first time we discuss RRAM cell performance and reliability through process improvement. Excellent post-cycling (106) retention and post-bake retention and endurance have been achieved for the optimized process conditions. The optimized RRAM cells show potential for manufacturability and scalability for high density memory application.
