In this work we investigate the charge transport in sub-stoichiometric TiOx for RRAM applications. We explored the atomic defect configurations actively assisting the charge transport in sub-stoichiometric TiOx through a multi-scale approach. We combined density-functional-theory-based non-equilibrium Green's function approach (DFT-NEGF) with physical-based trap assisted tunneling (TAT) modeling to identify the defects dominating the current conduction mechanism and the physical parameters of the defects responsible for the trap-assisted tunneling (TAT). The values of the thermal ionization energy ET and relaxation energy EREL extracted are 0.35-0.4eV and 0.7eV, respectively.

Abstract
In this work we investigate the charge transport in sub-stoichiometric TiOx for RRAM applications. We explored the atomic defect configurations actively assisting the charge transport in sub-stoichiometric TiOx through a multi-scale approach. We combined density-functional-theory-based non-equilibrium Green's function approach (DFT-NEGF) with physical-based trap assisted tunneling (TAT) modeling to identify the defects dominating the current conduction mechanism and the physical parameters of the defects responsible for the trap-assisted tunneling (TAT). The values of the thermal ionization energy ET and relaxation energy EREL extracted are 0.35-0.4eV and 0.7eV, respectively.
