Abstract





Memristor-based resistive random access
memory (RRAM) devices are very good competitors for next generation
non-volatile crossbar memory applications. 
The sneak paths problem is one of the main constraints in fabricating
crossbar memory devices. The one diode-one resistor (1D1R) structure design is
effective for suppressing the sneak paths problem. Suitable circuit models are
needed to simulate semiconductor structures.



A general circuit model for memristor-based
one diode-one resistor structures is proposed in this work. The Simulation
Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE) environment was used to
simulate the designed circuit. Well-known mathematical models such as those of
Strukov, Biolek, Joglekar, Prodromakis and Zha were used to simulate the
memristor component of the circuit. The current-voltage characteristics were
obtained for different mathematical models. All results were compatible with
the expected characteristics.  The best
fit characteristics were acquired using the Zha and Strukov models.
