TiO2 in memristors and resistive random access memory devices
2021
Abstract One of the most recent applications of TiO2 thin films is as an oxide layer in memristors, electronic devices considered as one of the most promising nonvolatile memories and as possible building units for neuromorphic computing. This chapter aims to describe several fabrication ways, either (electro)chemical or physical methods, of TiO2 thin films and to highlight the relationship between method and layer properties. Some fundamentals on the mechanism of memristors’ operation, that is, resistive switching in oxide thin films, will be given, classifying the different types of devices based on the used electrode materials and underlying physicochemical processes. Finally, it will be…
Electrochemically prepared oxides for resistive switching memories
2018
Redox-based resistive switching memories (ReRAMs) are the strongest candidates for next generation nonvolatile memories. These devices are commonly composed of metal/solid electrolyte/metal junctions, where the solid electrolyte is usually an oxide layer. A key aspect in the ReRAMs development is the solid electrolyte engineering, since it is crucial to tailor the material properties for obtaining excellent switching properties (e.g. retention, endurance, etc.). Here we present an anodizing process as a non vacuum and low temperature electrochemical technique for growing oxides with tailored structural and electronic properties. The effect of the anodizing conditions on the solid state prop…
Magnetic domain-wall racetrack memory for high density and fast data storage
2012
The racetrack memory device is a new concept of Magnetic RAM (MRAM) based on controlling domain wall (DW) motion in ferromagnetic nanowires. It promises ultra-high storage density thanks to the possibility to store multiple narrow DWS per memory cell. By using read and write heads based on magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) fast data access speed can also be achieved. Thereby the racetrack memory can be used as universal storage to address both embedded and standalone applications. In this paper, we present the device physics, integration circuit and architecture designs of a racetrack memory based on MTJs with PMA. Mixed SPICE simulations at 65 nm …
