SiO2 or Cu-doped SiO2 (Cu:SiO2) insulating films combined with Cu or W upper electrodes were constructed on the W/Si substrates to form the conductive-bridging RAM (CB-RAM) cells. The CB-RAMs were then subjected to a constant-voltage stressing (CVS) at room temperature. The experimental results show that the room-temp…

One of the important mechanical properties of materials is Poisson’s ratio, which is positive for most of the materials. However, certain materials exhibit “auxetic” properties; that is, they have a negative Poisson’s ratio. Thus auxetic and non-auxetic materials exhibit different deformation mechanisms. A specific mi…
