Abstract:
CMOS-compatible non-filamentary RRAM devices and techniques for formation thereof are provided. In one aspect, a method of forming a non-filamentary RRAM device includes: depositing a base oxide layer (e.g., hafnium oxide) on a bottom electrode; depositing a cap layer (e.g., amorphous silicon) on the base oxide layer; and depositing a top electrode on the cap layer, wherein the cap layer and the top electrode are deposited in-situ without any air exposure in between such that there is an absence of oxide at an interface between the cap layer and the top electrode. A low resistivity layer can optionally be deposited on the top electrode. An RRAM device and a computing device having a crossbar array of the present RRAM cells are also provided.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the cap layer is deposited on the base oxide layer using plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition or chemical vapor deposition, and wherein the top electrode is deposited on the cap layer using atomic layer deposition.
