JART – Jülich Aachen Resistive Switching Tools

JART-Model

Our laboratories provide simulation models for resistive switching devices to the scientific community. A focus on this dissemination activity are compact models to be used by circuit designers or device engineers. In the future, however, also kinetic Monte Carlo and continuum models will be provided. Please feel free to download the JART source codes. We request that you include a proper citation of either the web page or, preferentially, the corresponding papers whenever you are using it.

Recently we have also written a User Guide for the VCM model versions v1b, v1b var and v1b RTN. which can be downloaded here (User Guide PDF). We hope that this will aid new users of the compact models in getting acquainted with the models behavior as well as in learning more about the reasoning behind them.

Thermal Crosstalk in RRAM Memory Array

Upcoming computing and market-ready storage technologies must not only become more powerful, but also more energy-efficient to meet future challenges. A promising solution are BEOL-integrated RRAM arrays. However, with shrinking feature size, thermal management is becoming increasingly important, especially with regard to temperature-accelerated switching. Here, we present a 3D electrothermal model of an 8x8 RRAM array based on a 40 nm RRAM process which is used to investigate the thermal effects on a selected device itself as well as on the adjacent RRAM cells. With the corresponding simulation tool, which can be downloaded here, various parameters can be varied and their influence on the thermal crosstalk analysed.

This COMSOL App is available without and with COMSOL runtime. In the first case, the download is significantly smaller and the COMSOL runtime will be automatically installed if necessary.
