“…Thus, even with the best control circuit, it appears to be impossible to program a resistance state under an arbitrary precision threshold, usually between 1-5% of the resistance range (Adam et al, 2018;Xia and Yang, 2019;Xi et al, 2021). This writing variability is most likely attributable to the local environment [room temperature (Abunahla et al, 2016;Bunnam et al, 2020;Roldán et al, 2021), humidity (Messerschmitt et al, 2015;Valov and Tsuruoka, 2018)] and the internal state of the RSM at the atomic scale. In valence change memories, for example, the conductive filament may break abruptly and result in a state that is more resistive than expected (Gao et al, 2009;González-Cordero et al, 2017;Wiefels et al, 2020).…”
