Abstract

In the second part of this series, we propose a physics-based model for describing the temperature dependence of TiO x -based memristors, both switching and static. We show that the current–voltage ( ${I}$ – ${V}$ ) characteristics of memristor in the nonswitching regime, indicating a Schottky emission mechanism, can be described by minor modifications to the Schottky current equation. This leads to a physics-based static ${I}$ – ${V}$ compact model. Simultaneously, we show that the temperature dependence of the switching dynamics model parameters naturally emerges as a mere scaling factor from the static ${I}$ – ${V}$ model. This is a computationally efficient approach, which does not require any additional parameters to extend the switching dynamics model for incorporating thermal dependence.

Highlights

  • T iOx has been shown to be one of the most promising oxide materials for memristive devices [1]–[7]. It is a CMOS-compatible material that can be used to realize high-density arrays of memristor devices [8], [9]. In this part of the series, we focus on TiOx memristors that have been shown to exhibit the Schottky emission [5], [10] as the dominant conduction mechanism in the low-field regime

  • We further show that the proposed physics-based model can be applied to another type of TiOx memristor device

  • This work on physics-based model helps to explain this behavior that is rooted in the Schottky emission as the conduction mechanism, which holds at the low voltages typically applied when reading the device
