Effect of Rapid Thermal Annealing on Resistive Switching Uniformity of HfAlOx Based RRAM Devices

Article Preview

Abstract:

HfAlOx based RRAM devices were fabricated using atomic layer deposition by modulating deposition cycles for HfO2 and Al2O3. The effect of rapid thermal annealing (RTA) on the resistive switching uniformity of HfAlOx based RRAM devices was investigated. Compared to the as-deposited devices, the resistive switching uniformity of HfAlOx based RRAM devices after RTA treatment are remarkably improved. The uniformity improvement of HfAlOx based RRAM after RTA treatment is related to microstructure change in the resistive switching film.
