A compact model of hafnium-oxide-based resistive random access memory

In this paper, a compact model of hafnium-oxide-based resistive random access memory (RRAM) cell is developed. The proposed model includes the effect of the temperature and cycle-to-cycle stochastic variations affecting the device operations. Simple I-V measurements are used to extract the model parameters. The model accurately reproduces the I-V curves of the switching cycles in different operating conditions.
