Abstract

Co/HfO₂-based CBRAM stacks are optimized to enlarge the memory window for low-current (50 µA) operation. First, we dope the switching layer with Si to decrease the pristine current, thus enlarging the memory window. Then, we reduce the forming voltage by scaling the Si-doped HfO₂ thickness. Finally, we extend the endurance lifetime and reduce the write time by introducing a hygroscopic oxide, LaSiO, in combination with HfSiO, to enhance Co ion hopping through hydroxyl groups. We further outline the important role of the position of the hygroscopic layer with respect to the Co active electrode in enlarging the memory window of the CBRAM device up to > 10⁵.

优化钴基 CBRAM 中的开关层，在低于 100 µA 的条件下实现 >105 内存窗口

我们对基于 Co/HfO2 的 CBRAM 堆栈进行了优化，以扩大存储器窗口，实现低电流（50 µA）运行。首先，我们在开关层中掺入硅，以降低原始电流，从而扩大存储器窗口。然后，我们通过增加硅掺杂 HfO2 的厚度来降低成型电压。最后，我们通过引入吸湿性氧化物 LaSiO 和 HfSiO 来增强钴离子通过羟基的跳跃，从而延长了耐用寿命并缩短了写入时间。我们进一步概述了吸湿层相对于 Co 活性电极的位置在将 CBRAM 器件的存储窗口扩大到 105 方面的重要作用。
