The detection and examination of the dynamic behavior of oxygen ions/vacancies are crucial to deeply understand the microscopic physical nature of the resistive switching (RS) behavior. By using synchrotron radiation based, non-destructive and bulk-sensitive hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES), we demonstrate an operando diagnostic detection of the oxygen ‘breathing’ behavior at the oxide/metal interface, namely, oxygen migration between HfO2 and TiN during different RS periods. The results highlight the significance of oxide/metal interfaces in RRAM, even in filament-type devices. IMPACT STATEMENT: The oxygen ‘breathing’ behavior at the oxide/metal interface of filament-type resistive random access memory devices is operandoly detected using hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy as a diagnostic tool. © 2019, © 2019 The Author(s).

- ItemToward Reliable Compact Modeling of Multilevel 1T-1R RRAM Devices for Neuromorphic Systems(Basel : MDPI AG, 2021) Perez-Bosch Quesada, Emilio; Romero-Zaliz, Rocio; Perez, Eduardo; Kalishettyhalli Mahadevaiah, Mamathamba; Reuben, John; Schubert, Markus Andreas; Jimenez-Molinos, Francisco; Roldan, Juan Bautista; Wenger, ChristianIn this work, three different RRAM compact models implemented in Verilog-A are analyzed and evaluated in order to reproduce the multilevel approach based on the switching capability of experimental devices. These models are integrated in 1T-1R cells to control their analog behavior by means of the compliance current imposed by the NMOS select transistor. Four different resistance levels are simulated and assessed with experimental verification to account for their multilevel capability. Further, an Artificial Neural Network study is carried out to evaluate in a real scenario the viability of the multilevel approach under study.
- ItemNeuromorphic on-chip recognition of saliva samples of COPD and healthy controls using memristive devices([London] : Macmillan Publishers Limited, part of Springer Nature, 2020) Zarrin, Pouya Soltani; Zahari, Finn; Mahadevaiah, Mamathamba K.; Perez, Eduardo; Kohlstedt, Hermann; Wenger, ChristianChronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a life-threatening lung disease, affecting millions of people worldwide. Implementation of Machine Learning (ML) techniques is crucial for the effective management of COPD in home-care environments. However, shortcomings of cloud-based ML tools in terms of data safety and energy efficiency limit their integration with low-power medical devices. To address this, energy efficient neuromorphic platforms can be used for the hardware-based implementation of ML methods. Therefore, a memristive neuromorphic platform is presented in this paper for the on-chip recognition of saliva samples of COPD patients and healthy controls. Results of its performance evaluations showed that the digital neuromorphic chip is capable of recognizing unseen COPD samples with accuracy and sensitivity values of 89% and 86%, respectively. Integration of this technology into personalized healthcare devices will enable the better management of chronic diseases such as COPD. © 2020, The Author(s).
