Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
Ph.D. position: HfO2-based OxRAM simulations and ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
We are seeking for a talented Ph.D. candidate for HfO2-based OxRAM simulations and modeling. This is a 3-years fully funded (Cifre-ANRT funding) Ph.D. position, offered by Silvaco Inc. in collaboration with CEA-LETI. This position is to be filled by the end of the year 2020. The Ph.D. student will mainly work at CEA-LETI, Grenoble, France.
Context:
Neuromorphic computing is becoming a reality thanks to the development of new hardware components of memristive type. In particular, resistive memories RRAM have attracted a lot of attention for neuromorphic logic thanks to their high endurance, high-speed of commutation, low cost of fabrication, and multilevel programming. OxRAM is a type of RRAM in which the low and high resistance states are realized by a commutation inside a metal oxide, for example in HfO2. Beyond neuromorphic computing applications, OxRAM, which combines high-speed and non-volatility, is a promising route to achieve universal memory.
In CEA-LETI, HfO2-based OxRAM has been fabricated and tested in MAD200 (8 inch Memory Advanced Demonstrator) since 2015. OxRAM technology has been improved after several iterations. To use OxRAM as a standard component in an integrated circuit, an OxRAM model is essential to the designer. In Silvaco, an electrochemical simulation module has been developed recently to capture the resistive switching mechanism in OxRAM. By combining it with standard TCAD modules, it shows promising primitive results compared with experiments. However, the resistive switching mechanism in OxRAM remains unclear. It is worth the effort to explore different assumptions about the switching and carrier transport mechanisms.
Description of the work:
Qualifications:
The candidate should hold a Master's degree in microelectronics, solid-state physics, or related discipline.
