Journal ArticleDOI
Electronic switching in phase-change memories
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed investigation of electronic switching in chalcogenide-based phase-change memory devices is presented, and a physical picture of the switching mechanism is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reliability study of phase-change nonvolatile memories
Agostino Pirovano,Andrea Redaelli,Fabio Pellizzer,F. Ottogalli,Marina Tosi,Daniele Ielmini,Andrea L. Lacaita,Roberto Bez +7 more
TL;DR: A detailed investigation of the reliability aspects in nonvolatile phase-change memories (PCM) is presented, covering the basic aspects related to high density array NVM, i.e., data retention, endurance, program and read disturbs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-field amorphous state resistance and threshold voltage drift in chalcogenide materials
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed investigation of the time evolution for the low-field resistance R/sub off/ and the threshold voltage V/sub th/ in chalcogenide-based phase-change memory devices is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the bremsstrahlung origin of hot-carrier-induced photons in silicon devices
TL;DR: In this article, a photon emission efficiency of 2.9*10/sup 5/ photons with energy higher than 1.14 eV per carrier crossing the junction, independent of the lattice temperature down to 20 K, was measured.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frequency dependence on bias current in 5 GHz CMOS VCOs: impact on tuning range and flicker noise upconversion
Salvatore Levantino,Carlo Samori,Andrea Bonfanti,S.L.J. Gierkink,Andrea L. Lacaita,V. Boccuzzi +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a first-order estimation of the tuning curve for MOS-varactor-tuned VCOs is provided, based on which a simplified phase-noise model for double cross-coupled VOCs is derived.
