High density 3D memory architecture based on the resistive switching effect

Design challenges for prototypical and emerging memory concepts relying on resistance switching

“…As memory elements may be integrated into BEOL, RRAM technology is of particular interest for high density storage with possibly multi-levels threedimensional architectures (Fig. 6a) [33,34]. Nevertheless, it has to be stressed out that from a memory cell and array design point of view, unipolar operations are preferred over bipolar operations.…”

Non-volatile Memory Devices Based on Chalcogenide Materials

“…The research is diverted into two directions; one aims to improve the architecture of the device, i.e. 3-D devices [36] ; the other focuses on multilevel programming of the cell itself [37]. Russo et.…”

New Memristor-Based Crossbar Array Architecture with 50-% Area Reduction and 48-% Power Saving for Matrix-Vector Multiplication of Analog Neuromorphic Computing

“…have been carried out both in academia and industry [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Among them, simple crossbar array architecture has been one of strong candidates for promising neuromorphic architectures, because crossbar architecture can be made with high density and low cost [11].…”

“…Since the first prediction of memristors, they have been thought as potential candidate that can mimic various synaptic functions of biological neural systems [12]. This is because memristors can be integrated with 3-D array that may be as dense as neuronal array in human brains [11]. In addition, memristors that can store analog values are useful in representing synaptic weights to emulate synaptic plasticity [12].…”
