In this project, the students will perform characterization of a Resistive RAM (ReRAM) Crossbar array. They will work with a packaged device that contains a few arrays. The measurement setup will be based on a set of SMUs (Source Measure Units) and a PC platform that control the measuring equipment. The students will use Python to create a set of tool that allow for automatic parameter extraction from memristive devices and circuits and test the tools on the ReRAM arrays.
Project description:
Background: Memristive technologies, such as Resistive RAM (ReRAM), Phase-Change Memory (PCM) and Magnetic RAM (MRAM) have attracted much interest in the last decade. Many ventures came up that produce different flavors of memristive elements. To find the best technology match for applications, we need to come up with a characterization infrastructure that will allow for automatic measurement of devices and extraction of major electrical parameters.
