    Abstract: Molybdenum oxide can be used to form switching elements in a resistive memory device. The atomic ratio of oxygen to molybdenum can be between 2 and 3. The molybdenum oxide exists in various Magneli phases, such as Mo13O33, Mo4O11, Mo17O47, Mo8O23, or Mo9O26. An electric field can be established across the switching layers, for example, by applying a set or reset voltage. The electric field can cause movement of the oxygen charges, e.g., O2− ions, changing the composition profile of the switching layers, forming bistable states, including a high resistance state with MoO3 and a low resistance state with MoOx (x

    Abstract: Non linear current response circuits can be used in embedded resistive memory cell for reducing power consumption, together with improving reliability of the memory array. The non linear current response circuits can include two back to back leaky PIN diodes, two parallel anti-directional PIN diodes, two back to back Zener-type metal oxide diodes, or ovonic switching elements, along with current limiting resistor for standby power reduction at the low voltage region. Also, the proposed embedded ReRAM implementation methods based upon 1T2D1R scheme can be integrated into the advanced FEOL process technologies including vertical pillar transistor and/or 3D fin-shaped field effect transistor (FinFET) for realizing a highly compact cell density.

    Abstract: An internal electrical field in a resistive memory element can be formed to reduce the forming voltage. The internal electric field can be formed by incorporating one or more charged layers within the switching dielectric layer of the resistive memory element. The charged layers can include adjacent charge layers to form dipole layers. The charged layers can be formed at or near the interface of the switching dielectric layer with an electrode layer. Further, the charged layer can be oriented with lower valence substitution side towards lower work function electrode, and higher valence substitution side towards higher work function electrode.

The resistor structure may be a two-terminal structure designed to reduce the maximum current flowing through a memory device. A method is also provided for making such memory device. The method includes depositing a resistor structure and depositing a variable resistance layer of a resistive switching memory cell of the memory device, where the resistor structure is disposed in series with the variable resistance layer to limit the switching current of the memory device.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention generally relate to nonvolatile memory devices and methods for manufacturing such memory devices. The methods for forming improved memory devices, such as a ReRAM cells, provide optimized, atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes for forming a metal oxide film stack having a metal oxide buffer layer disposed on or over a metal oxide bulk layer. The metal oxide bulk layer contains a metal-rich oxide material and the metal oxide buffer layer contains a metal-poor oxide material. The metal oxide bulk layer is less electrically resistive than the metal oxide buffer layer since the metal oxide bulk layer is less oxidized or more metallic than the metal oxide buffer layer. In one example, the metal oxide bulk layer contains a metal-rich hafnium oxide material and the metal oxide buffer layer contains a metal-poor zirconium oxide material.

    Abstract: Provided are superconducting circuits, methods of operating these superconducting circuits, and methods of determining processing conditions for operating these superconducting circuits. A superconducting circuit includes a superconducting element, a conducting element, and a dielectric element disposed between the superconducting element and the conducting element. The conducting element may be another superconducting element, a resonating element, or a conducting casing. During operation of the superconducting element a direct current (DC) voltage is applied between the superconducting element and the conducting element. This application of the DC voltage reduces average microwave absorption of the dielectric element. In some embodiments, when the DC voltage is first applied, the microwave absorption may initially rise and then fall below the no-voltage absorption level. The DC voltage level may be determined by testing the superconducting circuit at different DC voltage levels and selecting the one with the lowest microwave absorption.
