Factorial Hidden Markov Model analysis of Random Telegraph Noise in Resistive Random Access Memories
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new technique to analyze the characteristics of multi-level random telegraph noise (RTN). RTN is de ned as an abrupt switching of either the current or the voltage between discrete values as a result of trapping/de-trapping activity. RTN signal properties are deduced exploiting a factorial hidden Markov model (FHMM). The proposed method considers the measured multi-level RTN as a superposition of many two-levels RTNs, each represented by a Markov chain and associated to a single trap, and it is used to retrieve the statistical properties of each chain. These properties (i.e. dwell times and amplitude) are directly related to physical properties of each trap.

Effect of random telegraph noise on entanglement and nonlocality of a qubit-qutrit system
We study the evolution of entanglement and nonlocality of a non-interacting qubit-qutrit system under the effect of random telegraph noise (RTN) in independent and common environments in Markovian and non-Markovian regimes. We investigate the dynamics of qubit-qutrit system for different initial states. These systems could be existed in far astronomical objects. A monotone decay of the nonlocalit...
متن کاملCurrent-limiting and ultrafast system for the characterization of resistive random access memories.
A new system for the ultrafast characterization of resistive switching phenomenon is developed to acquire the current during the Set and Reset process in a microsecond time scale. A new electronic circuit has been developed as a part of the main setup system, which is capable of (i) applying a hardware current limit ranging from nanoampers up to miliampers and (ii) converting the Set and Reset ...
متن کاملCharacterization of Random Telegraph Noise in Scaled High-κ/Metal-gate MOSFETs with SiO2/HfO2 Gate Dielectrics
In the paper, random telegraph noise (RTN) in high-κ/metal-gate MOSFETs is investigated. The RTN in high-κ MOSFETs is found different compared to that in SiON MOSFETs, and faces challenges in characterization. Therefore, the characterization method is improved based on clustering and Hidden Markov Model, which greatly enhances the ability to extract RTN with non-negligible “ghost noise” in high...
متن کاملRandom telegraph noise and resistance switching analysis of oxide based resistive memory.
Resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices (e.g."memristors") are widely believed to be a promising candidate for future memory and logic applications. Although excellent performance has been reported, the nature of resistance switching is still under extensive debate. In this study, we perform systematic investigation of the resistance switching mechanism in a TaOx based RRAM through detail...

This paper presents a new hidden Markov model-based (HMM-based) speech enhancement framework based on the independent component analysis (ICA). We propose analytical procedures for training clean speech and noise models by the Baum re-estimation algorithm and present a Maximum a posterior (MAP) estimator based on Laplace-Gaussian (for clean speech and noise respectively) combination in the HMM ...
