Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of microelectronic technique and specifically relates to a method for improving the fatigue property of a CuxO memistor. The method removes a superficial CuO layer by means of plasma bombardment, or increases the electrical conductivity thereof, so that the method can reduce the current and voltage of the first-time write operation, protect the CuxO storage medium with resistance conversion property below the CuO layer from the damage of heavy current, and improve the fatigue property of the device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microelectronics, and in particular relates to a method for improving the fatigue characteristics of a CuxO resistance memory. Background technique [0002] Memory occupies an important position in the semiconductor market. Due to the continuous popularization of portable electronic devices, the share of non-volatile memory in the entire memory market is also increasing, of which more than 90% of the share is occupied by FLASH. However, due to the requirements for storing charges, FLASH cannot be expanded unlimitedly with the development of technology generations, and encounters serious challenges in technology generations below 45nm, which forces people to look for a next-generation non-volatile memory with better performance. Recently, resistive switching memory (resistive switching memory) has attracted high attention because of its high density, low cost, and the characteristics of breaking through th...
