A good candidate for replacing the inert platinum (Pt) electrode in the well-behaved Cu/TaOx/Pt resistive RAM memory cell is ruthenium (Ru), already successfully deployed in the CMOS back end of line. We benchmark Cu/TaOx/Ru device against Cu/TaOx/Pt and investigate the impact of embedment of Cu/TaOx/Ru on two different substrates, Ti(20nm)/SiO2(730nm)/Si and Ti(20nm)/TaOx(30nm)/SiO2(730nm)/Si, on the cell's electrical performance. While the devices show similar switching performance at some operating conditions, there are notable differences at other operation regimes shedding light on the basic switching mechanisms and the role of the inert electrode. The critical switching voltages are significantly higher for Ru than for Pt devices and can be partly explained by the work function difference and different surface roughness of the inert electrode. The poorer switching properties of the Ru device are attributed to the degraded inertness properties of the Ru electrode as a stopping barrier for Cu+ ions as compared to the Pt electrode. However, some of the degraded electrical properties of the Ru devices can be mitigated by an improved integration of the device on the Si wafer. This improvement is attributed to the suppression of crystallization of Ru and its silicidation reactions that take place at elevated local temperatures, present mainly during the reset operation. This hypothesis has been corroborated by extensive XRD studies of multiple layer systems annealed at temperatures between 300K and 1173K.

The Impact

The impact of concussions on an individual's cognitive functioning has become a growing health concern over the past several years; however, the search for sensitive tests persists. The task-switching paradigm is known to be sensitive to various medical conditions, including concussion. Accordingly, we developed 2 versions of the color-shape switch task. Three different costs are computed from the raw scores: global switch cost, which is thought to be a measure of global cognitive control; local switch cost, which is believed to be a measure of cognitive flexibility; and working memory cost. The aim of this study was to evaluate psychometric characteristics of these costs. An ANOVA revealed a main effect of sex on local latency switch cost, with females exhibiting longer latencies than males, p = 0.05. No main effect of sex was observed on any other switch costs. Moreover, no main effect of experimenter or version of the task was observed. Local switch cost was significantly correlated with trails 4 and 5 of the Comprehensive Trail Making Test (rs > 0.21, ps < 0.04). No other significant correlation between costs and established neuropsychological tests was observed, indicating low convergent validity. The intraclass correlation coefficient estimates ranged from 0.23 to 0.77, suggesting low-to-moderate 1-week test-retest reliability. Results indicated a low switch costs; convergent validity. Moreover, results show that the traditionally computed switch costs are less reliable than the primary outcomes (i.e., reaction time and accuracy). Researchers and clinicians should rely on primary variables from the task-switching paradigm rather than computing the traditional switch costs to increase the psychometric properties of the tasks which is critical to advances in theoretical models of executive functions and evaluations of clinical populations.
