Abstract
3D RRAM array suffers more serious reliability issues than 2D array due to the additional dimension involved. This paper systematically assesses the cell-location-dependent write-access (selected cells) and disturbance issues (unselected cells) for a 3D vertical RRAM array. Using a combination of experiments and simulations, a methodology is developed to enable array-level evaluation by conducting single-device measurements and without the need to fabricate a full 3D array. Based on this evaluation method, it is found that a double-sided bias (DSB) scheme improves write-disturb tolerance by a factor of 1800 and reduces write latency by 19 % under worst-case analyses.
