Impact of Line Edge Roughness on ReRAM Uniformity and Scaling.

We investigate the effects of Line Edge Roughness (LER) of electrode lines on the uniformity of Resistive Random Access Memory (ReRAM) device areas in cross-point architectures. To this end, a modeling approach is implemented based on the generation of 2D cross-point patterns with predefined and controlled LER and pattern parameters. The aim is to evaluate the significance of LER in the variability of device areas and their performances and to pinpoint the most critical parameters and conditions.
