Abstract
A complementary atom switch (CAS) is proposed to realize low programming voltage and high off-state reliability for crossbar switch application. Two atom switches with bipolar operation are connected in series with opposite direction, in which the two atom switches work as a single element. The two off-state atom switches in the CAS complementarily divide voltage stress, greatly enlarging the off-state lifetime. The CAS is embedded in Cu BEOL on a 65-nm-node CMOS platform without degrading the CMOS and interconnect performances. The CAS using two atom switches is one of the candidates for realizing energy-efficient nonvolatile programmable switches.
