Integrated Spatiotemporal Multiscale-Multiphysics-Uncertainty Simulation for Controlling Variability in RRAM Devices

Integrated Spatiotemporal Multiscale-Multiphysics-Uncertainty Simulation for Controlling Variability in RRAM Devices 150 150

Abstract:

Resistive random access memory (RRAM) is a leading candidate for next-generation nonvolatile memory and neuromorphic computing. However, its performance is limited by inherent switching variability and uncertainties in spatiotemporal multiscale materials and processes. This study integrates multiphysics and multiscale modeling with uncertainty quantification (UQ) to systematically address these limitations and …

Understanding Reliability Trade-Offs in 1T-nC and 2T-nC FeRAM Designs

Understanding Reliability Trade-Offs in 1T-nC and 2T-nC FeRAM Designs 150 150

Abstract:

Ferroelectric random access memory (FeRAM) is a promising candidate for energy-efficient nonvolatile memory, particularly for logic-in-memory and compute-in-memory (CIM) applications. Among the available cell architectures, One-Transistor–n-Capacitor (1T-nC) and two-transistor–n-capacitor (2T-nC) FeRAMs each offer distinct trade-offs in density, scalability, and reliability. In this work, we present a comparative study …
