A Nonvolatile 2-Mbit CBRAM Memory Core Featuring Advanced Read and Program Control

A 2-Mbit CBRAM (Conductive Bridging Random Access Memory) core has been developed utilizing a 90 nm, VDD=1.5 V process technology. The presented design uses an 8F2 (0.0648 mum2) 1T1CBJ (1-Transistor/1-Conductive Bridging Junction) cell and introduces a fast feedback regulated CBJ read voltage and a novel program charge control using dummy cell bleeder devices. Random read/write cycle times les50ns are demonstrated
