Abstract

4F <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> selector-less crossbar array 2Mb ReRAM test chip with 54nm technology has been successfully integrated for high cell efficiency and high density memory applications by implementing parts of decoders to row/column lines directly under the cell area. Read/write specifications for memory operation in a chip are presented by minimizing sneak current through unselected cells. The characteristics of memory cell (nonlinearity, Kw >;8, Iop <;10uA, Vop<;60;3V), TiOx/Ta <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> O <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">5</sub> , are modified for its working in a chip by adopting appropriate materials for a resistor stack and spacer. Write condition in a chip makes a critical impact on read margin and read/write operation in a chip has been verified.
