摘要
本文重点研究了基于钒/ITO(O2 快速热退火)的自选择电阻式随机存取存储器(RRAM)器件。在这项研究中,钒顶电极的自然氧化和快速热退火(RTA)工艺大大简化了器件的制造过程。由钒电极自然氧化形成的基于 VO2 的选择器可有效抑制电流,并直接与 ITO 层集成,无需额外的串行选择器。通过 RTA 工艺,ITO 薄膜的氧含量显著增加,从而使以前的导电 ITO 材料可用作 RRAM 绝缘层,而无需额外沉积绝缘层。这种 V/ITO(O2 RTA)结构不仅具有高度均匀的电阻分布(σ/μ<2.8 %)和耐久稳定性(10000 次循环),还能有效模拟突触可塑性,表现出短期和长期记忆行为。值得注意的是,当施加连续脉冲电压时,该器件会显示出电位增强和抑制特性。这些进步凸显了 RTA 处理过的 ITO 薄膜在下一代存储器技术中的创新性和适用性。
Investigation of self-selective RRAM based on V/ITO structure with rapid thermal annealed ITO for synapse emulation
This paper focuses on the investigation of V/ITO (O2 Rapid Thermal Annealing)-based Self-Selective Resistive Random-Access Memory (RRAM) device. In this study, the natural oxidation of Vanadium top electrode and the rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process greatly simplified the device fabrication process. The VO2-based Selector, formed by the natural oxidation of the Vanadium electrode, effectively suppresses current and is directly integrated with the ITO layer, eliminating the need for additional serial Selector. The oxygen content of the ITO film is significantly increased by the RTA process, enabling the previously conductive ITO material to be used as the RRAM insulating layer without the need for additional deposition of insulating layer. This V/ITO (O2 RTA) structure not only exhibits highly uniform resistance distributions (σ/μ<2.8 %) and endurance stability (10000 cycles), but also effectively simulates synaptic plasticity, exhibiting both short-term and long-term memory behaviors. Notably, potentiation and depression characteristics are displayed by the device when continuous pulse voltage is applied. These advancements underscore the innovation and applicability of RTA-treated ITO films in next-generation memory technologies.
