AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
The formation of conductive filaments in ReRAM modules requires high voltages that can damage circuit components and are difficult to control, leading to potential failure and susceptibility to high voltages during normal operation.
Method used
An antenna system is used to form conductive filaments within the ReRAM module, applying higher voltages without damaging the circuitry, and a resistive component is incorporated to control the current flow, preventing positive feedback loops.
Benefits of technology
The antenna system allows for the formation of conductive filaments without damaging the circuitry and maintains stable resistance values, preventing filament widening during normal operation, thus ensuring reliable ReRAM module functionality.

Abstract
The memory structure comprises a ReRAM module embedded in a substrate. An insulating layer is formed on the substrate. A first electrode is disposed on the insulating layer. The first electrode is proximate and connected to a first end of the ReRAM module and comprises a first surface area. A second electrode is disposed on the insulating layer. The second electrode is proximate and connected to a second end of the ReRAM module. The second electrode comprises a second surface area, a plasma-interactive component, and a resistive component. The resistive component is disposed between the plasma-interactive component and the ReRAM module. A ratio of the first surface area to the second surface area generates a voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode when the first surface area and the second surface area are exposed to an application of plasma. The voltage forms a conductive filament within the ReRAM module.
