摘要: A resistive random access memory (RRAM) and a method for operating the RRAM are disclosed. The RRAM includes at least two successively stacked conductive layers and a resistive switching layer situated between every adjacent two conductive layers, wherein a migration interface with an interface effect is formed at each interface between one conductive layer and the resistive switching layer in contact therewith, wherein the migration interface regulates, by the interface effect, vacancies formed in the resistive switching layer under the effect of an electrical signal. The regulation includes at least one of absorption, migration and diffusion.

摘要: Disclosed is a resistive random access memory (RRAM) circuit and related method to limit current, or ramp voltage, applied to a source line or bitline of an RRAM array. The RRAM array has one or more source lines and one or more bitlines. A control circuit sets an RRAM cell to a low resistance state in a set operation, and resets the RRAM cell to a high resistance state in a reset operation. A voltage applied to a bitline or source line is ramped during a first time interval, held to a maximum voltage value during a second interval, and ceased after the second time interval.
