| contents | Through Random Telegraph Noise (RTN) analysis, valuable information can be provided about the role of defect traps in fine tuning and reading of the state of a nanoelectronic device. However, time domain analysis techniques exhibit their limitations in case where unstable RTN signals occur. These instabilities are a common issue in Multi-Level Cells (MLC) of resistive memories (ReRAM), when the tunning protocol fails to find a perfectly stable resistance state, which in turn brings fluctuations to the RTN signal especially in long time measurements and cause severe errors in the estimation of the distribution of time constants of the observed telegraphic events, i.e., capture/emission of carriers from traps. In this work, we analyze the case of the unstable filaments in silicon nitride-based ReRAM devices and propose an adaptive filter implementing a moving-average detrending method in order to flatten unstable RTN signals and increase sufficiently the accuracy of the conducted measurements. The te and tc emission/capture time constants of the traps, respectively, are then calculated and a cross-validation through frequency domain analysis (Lorentzian fitting) was performed proving that the proposed method is accurate. |
