抄録(和) The low voltage and fast program capability of ReRAM is very attractive for next-generation memory applications, but there also exist new reliability issues associated with the resistance switching mechanism. In this work, the variable behavior of ReRAM memory cells is studied using machine learning (ML) techniques. Prediction of two types of cell behavior are also evaluated, (i) how quickly will the cell reset in the next cycle, and (ii) how the cell will fail after endurance cycling. Furthermore, a new scheme, called Proactive Bit Redundancy, is included into the SSD controller. Here, a ML trained model predicts fail cells and replaces them by dynamic redundancy. In order to eliminate the need for extra address tables to store the failed cell locations, an Invalid Masking technique is also proposed. Based on measured results from a 50nm AlxOy ReRAM testchip, a bit error rate (BER) reduction of 2.85?~, also equivalent to an endurance improvement of 13?~, is obtained with little circuitry overhead.
