Furthermore, the proposed model embodies a window function which features a simple mathematical form analytically describing resistive state response under constant bias voltage as extracted from physical device response data. Its Verilog-A implementation captures the ReRAM memory effect without requiring integration of the model state variable, making it suitable for fast and/or large-scale simulations and overall interoperable with current design tools.

Abstract

The translation of emerging application concepts that exploit Resistive Random Access Memory (ReRAM) into large-scale practical systems requires realistic yet computationally efficient device models. Here, we present a ReRAM model where device current-voltage characteristics and resistive switching rate are expressed as a function of a) bias voltage and b) initial resistive state. The model’s versatility is validated on detailed characterization data, for both filamentary valence change memory and non-filamentary ReRAM technologies, where device resistance is swept across its operating range using multiple input voltage levels. Furthermore, the proposed model embodies a window function which features a simple mathematical form analytically describing resistive state response under constant bias voltage as extracted from physical device response data. Its Verilog-A implementation captures the ReRAM memory effect without requiring integration of the model state variable, making it suitable for fast and/or large-scale simulations and overall interoperable with current design tools.
