Resistance random access memory (RRAM) is known to be a promising candidate for next generation non-volatile memory devices, in which the diffusion of oxygen vacancies plays a key role in resistance switching.

ABSTRACTThis paper describes proposal of ReRAM switching mechanism, development of production tool for ReRAM sputtering and improvement in TaOx-ReRAM switching characteristics. We propose that a ReRAM-cell has stack a structure in which an oxygen vacancy supply layer (TaOx) and an oxygen accumulation layer (Ta2O5) sandwiched by the top and bottom electrodes. Resistance change of the ReRAM-cell is caused by the oxygen vacancies migrating between the TaOx and the Ta2O5 layers by applied voltage. This prediction corresponded to the experimental facts. The thickness of Ta2O5 film sputtered by a mass production tool had good uniformity (±1.0%) and excellent stability (±1.0%). Also the sheet resistance uniformity (1σ) of TaOx film had 3.6%. By examining the sputtering conditions, the ReRAM-cell having a Ta2O5/TaOx bi-layer operated in less than 100μA with a forming-free and had excellent endurance property to 1010 cycles at 50nsec.

ZnMn2O4films for resistance random access memory (RRAM) were fabricated on p-Si substrate by magnetron sputtering. The effects of thickness onI-Vcharacteristics, resistance switching behavior and endurance characteristics of ZnMn2O4films were investigated. The ZnMn2O4films with a structure of Ag/ZnMn2O4/p-Si exhibit bipolar resistive switching behavior. With the increase of thickness of ZnMn2O4films from 0.83μm to 2.3μm, both theVONand the number of stable repetition switching cycle increase, but theRHRS/RLRSratio decrease, which indicated that the ZnMn2O4films with a thickness of 0.83μm has the biggestRHRS/RLRSratio and the lowestVONandVOFF, but the worst endurance characteristics.
