A key requirement for RRAM in neural network accelerators with a large number of synaptic parameters is the multilevel programming. This is hindered by resistance imprecision due to cycle-to-cycle and device-to-device variations. Here, we compare two multilevel programming algorithms to minimize resistance variations in a 4-kbit array of HfO 2 RRAM. We show that gate-based algorithms have the highest reliability. The optimized scheme is used to implement a neural network with 9-level weights, achieving 91.5% (vs. software 93.27%) in MNIST recognition.
