Endurance characterization of the Cu-dope HfO2 based selection device with one transistor-one selector structure

We investigated the endurance characteristics of a Cu-doped HfO2 selector device in one transistor-one selector (1T1S) structure, which is fully compatible with standard BEOL process. The device exhibits high endurance of 1010 under 10 μΑ compliance current. However, reduced endurance (105) was observed as increasing the compliance up to 100 μΑ. Under the condition of high operation, intrinsic defect in the HfO2 layer was possibly generated and resulted in endurance degradation.
