In this study, the bipolar switching properties and electrical conduction behaviors of the ITO thin films RRAM devices were investigated. For the transparent RRAM devices structure, indium tin oxide thin films were deposited by using the RF magnetron sputtering method on the ITO/glass substrate. For the ITO/ITO/ITO/glass (MIM) structure, an indium tin oxide thin film top electrode was prepared to form the transparent RRAM devices. From the experimental results, the 10 On/Off memory ratio and bipolar switching cycling properties for set/reset stable states were found and discussed. All transparent RRAM devices exhibited the obvious memory window and low set voltage for the switching times of 120 cycles. The electrical transport mechanisms were dominated by the ohmic contact and space charge limit conduction (SCLC) models for set and reset states. Finally, the transmittances properties of the transparent ITO/ITO/ITO RRAM devices for the different oxygen growth procedures were about 90% according to the UV-Vis spectrophotometer for the visible wavelength range.

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.
