Abstract
In this study, a Vertical Via RRAM fully compatible to cutting-edge FinFET CMOS logic process has been demonstrated. These Vertical Via RRAM devices are formed by the stacked nanometer via and metal in the Cu BEOL CMOS logic process. Between the two Cu electrodes, the TaON-based transition metal oxide (TMO) film functions as the resistive switching layer after a reset forming process. This 3D stackable Vertical Via RRAM features low voltage operation, large read window and enables compact cell size. Excellent data retention and immunity to read disturb are demonstrated as well.
