The evaluation of the G-V characteristics under single-pulse test-schemes is introduced as an example of application for neuromorphic engineering, where the fine analog control of the device conductivity state is required by inducing small changes in each iteration. To describe the obtained data, a time-independent compact model for memristive devices is used as inspiration. The model provided in the present work allows including device-level variability in the simulation, and considers the device electrical history. Both factors are key for further simulations of RRAM-based crossbar arrays, and the evaluation of the variability impact on their performance.","PeriodicalId":383788,"journal":{"name":"2018 Joint International EUROSOI Workshop and International Conference on Ultimate Integration on Silicon (EUROSOI-ULIS)","volume":"281 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114947065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In classical SRAM configuration performance (read, write, retention) at a given leakage is only slightly impacted because of the SiGe stress partial relaxation in the small Pull-Up active dimensions. Since the SiGe compressive stress strongly enhances the hole mobility for long active stripes, it is relevant to design a so-called Complementary-SRAM bitcell, using SiGe pFETs as both Pull-Up and Pass-Gate devices. In such a configuration, the read current is enhanced by +21% with respect to the reference at the same leakage.","PeriodicalId":383788,"journal":{"name":"2018 Joint International EUROSOI Workshop and International Conference on Ultimate Integration on Silicon (EUROSOI-ULIS)","volume":"325 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113998595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
