Investigation Of Hfox/Cu Resistive Memory For Advanced Encryption Applications, Benjamin David Briggs Jan 2014

Investigation Of Hfox/Cu Resistive Memory For Advanced Encryption Applications, Benjamin David Briggs

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a widely used encryption algorithm to protect data and communications in today's digital age. Modern AES CMOS implementations require large amounts of dedicated logic and must be tuned for either performance or power consumption. A high throughput, low power, and low die area AES implementation is required in the growing mobile sector. An emerging non-volatile memory device known as resistive memory (ReRAM) is a simple metal-insulator-metal capacitor device structure with the ability to switch between two stable resistance states. Currently, ReRAM is targeted as a non-volatile memory replacement technology to eventually replace flash. Its …


Oxide Defect Engineering Methods For Valence Change (Vcm) Resistive Random Access Memories, Jihan Ocampo Capulong Jan 2014

Oxide Defect Engineering Methods For Valence Change (Vcm) Resistive Random Access Memories, Jihan Ocampo Capulong

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

Electrical switching requirements for resistive random access memory (ReRAM) devices are multifaceted, based on device application. Thus, it is important to obtain an understanding of these switching properties and how they relate to the oxygen vacancy concentration and oxygen vacancy defects. Oxygen vacancy defects in the switching oxide of valence-change-based ReRAM (VCM ReRAM) play a significant role in device switching properties. Oxygen vacancies facilitate resistive switching as they form the conductive filament that changes the resistance state of the device. This dissertation will present two methods of modulating the defect concentration in VCM ReRAM composed of Pt/HfOx/Ti stack: …
