Abstract
Slow access time, high power dissipation and a rapidly approaching scaling limit constitute roadblocks for existing non-volatile flash memory technologies. A new family of storage devices is needed. Filamentary resistive RAM (ReRAM) offers scalability, potentially sub-10nm, nanosecond write times and a low power profile. Importantly, applications beyond binary memories are also possible. Here we look at aspects of the electrical response to nanosecond stimuli of intrinsic resistance switching TiN/SiOx/TiN ReRAM devices. Simple sequences of identical pulses switch devices between two or more states, leading to the possibility of simplified programmers. Impedance mismatch between the device under test and the measurement system allows us to track the electroforming process and confirm it occurs on the nanosecond timescale. Furthermore, we report behavior reminiscent of neuronal synapses (potentiation, depression and short-term memory). Our devices therefore show great potential for integration into novel hardware neural networks.
