Analysis of conduction mechanism in silicon nitride-based RRAM

The conduction mechanism in Ti/Si3N4/p-Si memory stack is described. In order to analyse the conduction mechanism, we have measured the I-V characteristics in voltage sweep mode and performed I-V curve fitting. The temperature dependence in Ti/Si3N4/p-Si stacked cell has also been investigated because we cannot identify the conduction mechanism just based
