The cycle-to-cycle (C2C) and device-todevice (D2D) variability have been analyzed at the wafer scale using different numerical methods to extract the set (Vset) and reset (Vreset) voltages. Some interesting differences between both technologies were found in terms of switching characteristics KW - RRAM Y1 - 2023 SN - 979-8-3503-0240-0 U6 - https://doi.org/10.1109/CDE58627.2023.10339417 PB - Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) ER - TY - GEN A1 - Maldonado, David A1 - Cantudo, Antonio A1 - Perez, Eduardo A1 - Romero-Zaliz, Rocio A1 - Perez-Bosch Quesada, Emilio A1 - Mahadevaiah, Mamathamba Kalishettyhalli A1 - Jimenez-Molinos, Francisco A1 - Wenger, Christian A1 - Roldan, Juan Bautista T1 - TiN/Ti/HfO2/TiN Memristive Devices for Neuromorphic Computing: From Synaptic Plasticity to Stochastic Resonance T2 - Frontiers in Neuroscience N2 - We characterize TiN/Ti/HfO2/TiN memristive devices for neuromorphic computing. We analyze different features that allow the devices to mimic biological synapses and present the models to reproduce analytically some of the data measured. In particular, we have measured the spike timing dependent plasticity behavior in our devices and later on we have modeled it. The spike timing dependent plasticity model was implemented as the learning rule of a spiking neural network that was trained to recognize the MNIST dataset. Variability is implemented and its influence on the network recognition accuracy is considered accounting for the number of neurons in the network and the number of training epochs. Finally, stochastic resonance is studied as another synaptic feature.It is shown that this effect is important and greatly depends on the noise statistical characteristics.

To accomplish this aim, robust and reliable parameter extraction methods must be employed. In this work, four different extraction methods were used at the production level (over all the 108 devices integrated on 200-mm wafers manufactured in the IHP 130-nm CMOS technology) in order to obtain the corresponding collection of forming, reset, and set switching voltages. The statistical analysis of the experimental data (mean and standard deviation (SD) values) was plotted by using heat maps, which provide a good summary of the whole data at a glance and, in addition, an easy manner to detect inhomogeneities in the fabrication process.

The experimental data were collected from batches of 128 HfO2-based RRAM devices integrated in 4-kbit arrays. Three di erent switching oxides, namely, polycrystalline HfO2, amorphous HfO2, and Al-doped HfO2, were tested in the temperature range from -40 to 150 oC. The variability of forming voltages has been usually studied by using the Weibull distribution (WD). However, the performance of the PHD analysis demonstrated its ability to better model this crucial operation. The capacity of the PHD to reproduce the experimental data has been validated by means of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, while the WD failed in many of the cases studied. In addition, PHD allows to extract information about intermediate probabilistic states that occur in the forming process and the transition probabilities between them; in this manner, we can deepen on the conductive lament formation physics. In particular, the number of intermediate states can be related to the device variability. KW - RRAM KW - HfO2 Y1 - 2021 SN - 0038-1101 SN - 1879-2405 VL - 176 ER -
