    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for forming resistive random-access memory (RRAM) including a tunnel source access transistor, such as a tunnel source MOSFET. The use of a tunnel source access transistor includes integrating a tunnel diode on the bitcell transistor's source terminal using epitaxial growth. Accordingly, such RRAM bitcells are referred to herein as having a 1T(D)-1R configuration. As can be understood based on this disclosure, the tunnel diode's resistance is asymmetric with respect to RRAM write voltage. Thus, the tunnel diode optimizes array operations for the 1T(D)-1R bitcells described herein, enabling both control of current compliance in the SET direction and maximization of current in the RESET direction from the same RRAM bitcell. The 1T(D)-1R architecture is compatible with a multitude of RRAM device structures and transistor types, such as NMOS and PMOS configurations. Further, the tunnel diode can be integrated in a MOSFET access transistor without increasing cell layout area.
