Patent number: 11849653Abstract: A resistive random-access memory (ReRAM) device may include a thermally engineered layer that is positioned adjacent to an active layer and configured to act as a heat sink during filament formation in response to applied voltages. The thermally engineered layer may act as one of the electrodes on the ReRAM device and may be adjacent to any side of the active layer. The active layer may also include a plurality of individual active layers. Each of the active layers may be associated with a different dielectric constant, such that the middle active layer has a dielectric constant that is significantly higher than the other two surrounding active layers.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2022Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Milan Pesic, Luca Larcher, Bastien Beltrando

Publication number: 20230259687Abstract: A simulation of an electronic device may use a distribution of atomistic defects to provide more accurate results. An input mesh may be received representing a physical structure of the electronic device. This input mesh may be transformed into a polyhedral mesh to facilitate the simulation. A distribution of defects may then be generated and distributed throughout the polyhedral mesh. When performing each time step of the simulation, the effects of these defects may be attributed to individual cells in the polyhedral mesh and incorporated into the simulation equations for each volume. For example, charge and power contributions from the defects may be incorporated into the simulation equations to more accurately model the performance of the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2022Publication date: August 17, 2023Applicant: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Luca Vandelli, Matteo Bertocchi, Stefano Dominici, Luca Larcher
