Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) CB-RAM (Conducting Bridge Random Access Memory) is expected as a candidate for a nonvolatile memory and a switch for the next generation. The similar switching phenomenon was observed in CB-RAM in which solid electrolyte materials were replaced with CMOS familiar metal oxides. However, elucidation of basic memory characteristics of metal-oxide-based CB-RAM is still an open issue. In this study, we evaluated electric characteristics and data retention characteristics of a Cu/HfO2/Pt structure. Bipolar-type resistive switching with operation voltages of 1 V, which gives an enough voltage margin to secure the stored data against noise, was confirmed. Data retention error was mainly caused by the change in stored resistance from low to high resistance. Therefore, it was suggested that rupture of a metal filament due to thermal diffusion of constituent metal atoms was the origin that caused the error. In addition, it was clarified that, in the low resistance state, memory cells with lower resistance (thicker filament) retain the data longer than those with higher resistances (thinner filament).
