Impact of Post-Oxide Deposition Annealing on Resistive Switching in HfO 2 -Based Oxide RRAM and Conductive-Bridge RAM Devices

In this letter, we report the impact of post-oxide deposition annealing on the performance of HfO2-based resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices, namely, oxygen-ion-based oxide RRAM (OxRRAM) and Cu-ion-based conductive-bridge RAM (CBRAM) devices. Considerable degradation of the ON/OFF ratio and switching properties was observed in the OxRRAM devices after high-temperature annealing in vacuum...
