SB-MOS Symposium at URV Tarragona (SP)


The Symposium on Schottky Barrier MOS (SB-MOS) devices is held in the timeframe of the Graduated Students Meeting of URV on June 30th at the University Rovira i Virgili, Spain. This is the first joint R&D event between the URV and Symposium on SB-MOS.

This year the joint R&D event is sponsored by the URV, THM, the IEEE EDS Spain & Germany Chapter, and organized by Dr. Laurie Calvet (C2N, Palaiseau, France), Prof. Mike Schwarz and Prof. Alexander Kloes (NanoP THM, Germany), Prof. Lluis Marsal (DEEEA, URV), and Prof. Benjamin Iniguez (DEEEA, URV) and the staff at the URV.

Our joint R&D event starts on June 30th with the Symposium of SB-MOS. On July 1st and July 2nd the Graduated Students Meeting is held. The following speakers have confirmed their invitations to SB-MOS: Dr. Radu Sporea (Advanced Technology Institute, University of Surrey, Guildford, UK), Dr. Laurie E. Calvet (C2N, CNRS-Université Paris-Sud, France), Prof. Walter Weber (TU Vienna) and further.

Attendees are welcome to participate in our joint R&D event. Further information is present at

Abstract: In this work, we investigated how to include uncorrelated cycle-to-cycle (C2C) variability in the LTSpice quasi-static memdiode model for RRAM devices. Variability in the I-V curves is first addressed through an in-depth study of the experimental data using the FITDISTRPLUS package for the R language. This provides a first approximation to the identification of the most suitable model parameter distributions. Next, the selected candidate distributions are incorporated into the model script and used for carrying out Monte Carlo simulations. Finally, the experimental and simulated observables (set and reset currents, transition voltages, etc.) are statistically compared and the model estimands recalculated if it is necessary. Here, we put special emphasis on describing the main difficulties behind this seemingly simple procedure.
