Resistive switching random access memories (ReRAM) based on the valence change mechanism (VCM) have gained much attention due to their scalability, endurance and switching speed. By the application of bipolar voltage signals of appropriate amplitude the resistance can be switched between a high resistive (HRS) and a low resistive state (LRS).
Commonly this resistance change is attributed to the modulation of an oxygen vacancy enriched nano-sized filament in the oxide layer. The switching kinetics of VCM cells are highly nonlinear which can be attributed to a positive temperature feedback due to local Joule heating in the filament.
The resistive switching of Ti/SrTiOx/Pt cells is investigated at varying background temperature by pulse measurements and voltage sweeps, both covering several orders of magnitude on the timescale. We found evidence for the importance of local temperature for the switching kinetics.
