    摘要: A method for determining a value of a manufacturing parameter of a resistive memory cell, the resistive memory cell including a stack of layers, includes providing reference memory cells corresponding to technological alternatives of the stack of layers; measuring for each reference memory cell an initial resistance value; determining for each reference memory c ell a programming parameter value selected from among the resistance in a high resistance state and the programming window; establishing a relationship between the programming parameter and the initial resistance from the initial resistance values and the programming parameter values; and determining the manufacturing parameter value for which the programming parameter is greater than or equal to a target value, from the relationship between the programming parameter and the initial resistance and from a dependency relationship between the initial resistance and the manufacturing parameter.

    摘要: A method for resetting an array of RAM cells by applying a sequence of N reset operations, the method including at a first reset operation, defining a first reset technique and performing the first reset operation; at a j-th reset operation of a N-1 subsequent reset operations, j being an integer between 2 and N, if a correction yield of the reset technique used at the (j-1)-th reset operation fulfils a predefined condition, applying the reset technique used at the (j-1)-th reset operation to perform the j-th reset operation, if the correction yield does not fulfil the predefined condition, defining a new reset technique and applying the new reset technique to perform the j-th reset operation, the correction yield being a cumulative correction yield or a relative correction yield, the correction yield for the N reset operations being measured prior to the first reset operation.
