  • Abstract
    This paper demonstrates the switching of several conductive filaments in RRAM using a small-size FUSI gate NMOS transistor. The theory for predicting the maximum applicable Vset is elaborated. Modeling of filament conduction with a quantum mechanical model reveals that the reset operation corresponds to a narrowing of the filament.
