Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Clarification of memory characteristics of tiny cell is important for practical use of resistive random access memory (ReRAM). However, limitation of semiconductor micro-fabrication technology hinders to obtain memory characteristics caused by one and only filament confined in tiny cell with area of smaller than 20 x 20 nm2. In this paper, we established a method to prepare a very small memory cell by fabricating ReRAM structure on the tip of a cantilever of atomic force microscope (AFM). We also established a method to operate the small cell at a reset current low enough to avoid serious damage to the cantilever due to Joule heat generated by high current density at the tip of the cantilever. The effective cell size was estimated to be less than φ20 nm due to concentration of electric field at the tip of a cantilever by using an electromagnetic field simulator basing on finite element method. The experimental result that is not consistent with resistive switching models basing on adsorption or absorption of oxygen ions into an anode for set switching to occur was suggested, by making the most of the unique structure having a removable bottom electrode.
