In this study, we fabricated sol-gel-processed Y2O3-based resistive random-access memory (RRAM) devices. The fabricated Y2O3 RRAM devices exhibited conventional bipolar RRAM device characteristics and did not require the forming process. The long-term stability of the RRAM devices was investigated. The Y2O3 RRAM devices with a 20 nm thick Ag top electrode showed an increase in the low resistance state (LRS) and high resistance state (HRS) and a decrease in the HRS/LRS ratio after 30 days owing to oxidation and corrosion of the Ag electrodes. However, Y2O3 RRAM devices with inert Au-passivated Ag electrodes showed a constant RRAM device performance after 30 days. The 150 nm-thick Au passivation layer successfully suppressed the oxidation and corrosion of the Ag electrode by minimizing the chance of contact between water or oxygen molecules and Ag electrodes. The Au/Ag/Y2O3/ITO RRAM devices exhibited more than 300 switching cycles with a decent resistive window (>103). They maintained constant LRS and HRS resistances for up to 104 s, without significant degradation of nonvolatile memory properties for 30 days while stored in air.

Due to the stochastic formation of conductive filaments (CFs), analog resistive random-access memory (RRAM) struggles to simultaneously achieve low variability, high linearity, and symmetry in conductance tuning, thus complicating on-chip training and limiting versatility of RRAM based computing-in-memory (CIM) chips. In this study, we present a simple and effective approach using monolayer (ML) MoS as interlayer to control the CFs formation in TiO switching layer. The limited S-vacancies (S) in MoSO interlayer can further confine the position, size, and quantity of CFs, resulting in a highly uniform and symmetrical switching behavior.

A resistive switching device with precise control over the formation of conductive filaments (CF) holds immense potential for high-density memory arrays and atomic-scale in-memory computing architectures. While ion migration and electrochemical switching mechanisms are well understood, controlling the evolution of CF remains challenging for practical resistive random-access memory (RRAM) deployment. This study introduces a systematic approach to modulate oxygen vacancies (OV) in HfO films of Ag/HfO/Pt-based RRAM devices by controlling the substrate temperature.

Resistive random access memory (RRAM) has emerged as a promising candidate for next-generation storage technologies due to its simple structure, high running speed, excellent durability, high integration density, and low power consumption. This paper focuses on the application of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite (OIHP) materials in RRAM by introducing an innovative three-dimensional POPA modification strategy, which is realized by binding octa-amine-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (8NH-POSS) onto the side chains of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), thereby enhancing the material's resilience under elevated temperatures and humidity conditions. POPA cross-links with perovskite grains at crystalline boundaries through multiple -NH and -C═O chemical anchoring sites on its branch chain, enhancing the grain adhesion, optimizing the film quality, and improving the cage structure distribution at the perovskite grain boundaries.

The importance of hardware security increases significantly to protect the vast amounts of private data stored on edge devices. Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) are gaining prominence as hardware security primitives due to their ability to generate true random digital keys by exploiting the inherent randomness of the physical devices. Traditional approaches, however, require significant data movement between memory units and PUF generation circuits to perform encryption, presenting considerable energy efficiency and security challenges.
