3 High CMOS compatibility Low voltage (< 2.5V) High speed (100ns) BEOL integration Low cost High density potential Crossbar possibility 3D stack potential Introduction HfO 2 is a very promising candidate However: 1. Switching mechanism in HfO 2 unclear 2. Impact of electrodes not yet assessed: 1. non-polar vs. bipolar 2. impact on working potentials 3. data retention 1D1R device Electronic irresistible memory, Samsung and Sejong University, NGP Asia Materials,

11 Area scaling SET OFF TiN-Ti sample ON RESET No area-scaling effect in accordance with filament-like conduction mechanism 6

12 Conduction mechanism R( T ) = R0 exp E kt AC As previously observed on Pt/NiO/Pt, there is a continuum between ON states -metallic- and OFF states -semiconductor- in accordance with filament-like/localized conduction picture 7

13 Set dynamics V A V Set V cell Set voltage measured as a function of the ramp speed 9

14 Set dynamics The Ti presence strongly reduces both the set voltage and its variability 10

15 Data retention 250 C on TiN-Ti Fail time Positive impact of Ti in data retention performances No soldering reflow issues (260 C hundreds of sec. ) 11

16 Ab-initio calculations DOS Calculated with SIESTA (DFT) 50 E F energy DOS [nb state ev -1 ] Energy [ev] States in the gap appear in case of O-vacancy presence O-vacancy alignment could explain conduction across HfO 2 12

17 SET-RESET model Current [A] CF Voltage [V] SET RESET For Non-polar case (Pt-Pt) simple redox-based model accounts for SET Self-heating induced dissolution model accounts for RESET 13

18 Forming modeling Data Sims - Total current Sims Dominant GB Forming assumed to occur across a Grain Boundary (GB) Field-temperature driven defects generation leads to CF Model accounts for forming IV curves 14

19 Forming modeling Data Sims - Total current Sims Dominant GB Ti effect modeled with additional O-poor layer with lower defect generation energy cost The model account for V forming reduction 15
