  • Abstract
    Cu-oxide grown by plasma oxidation is found typically composed of upper CuO layer and inner graded CuxO. The initial forming process leads to endurance degradation but can be improved by annealing in an oxygen deficient ambient. By using ramped pulse and verification algorithm, the endurance and programming voltage shift are further ameliorated.
