Taking into account the stochastic nature of mechanisms behind resistive switching, a new technique based on the use of functional data analysis has been developed to accurately model resistive memory device characteristics. Functional principal component analysis (FPCA) based on Karhunen–Loève expansion is applied to obtain an orthogonal decomposition of the reset process in terms of uncorrelated scalar random variables. Then, the device current has been accurately described making use of just one variable presenting a modeling approach that can be very attractive from the circuit simulation viewpoint. The new method allows a comprehensive description of the stochastic variability of these devices by introducing a probability distribution that allows the simulation of the main parameter that is employed for the model implementation. A rigorous description of the mathematical theory behind the technique is given and its application for a broad set of experimental measurements is explained.}, organization = {Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness MTM2017-88708-P, TEC2017-84321-C4-3-R (also supported by the FEDER program)}, organization = {IMB-CNM (CSIC) in Barcelona}, organization = {Spanish ICTS Network MICRONANOFABS}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Functional data}, keywords = {Karhunen–Loève expansion}, keywords = {Penalized splines}, keywords = {Resistive switching}, keywords = {Resistive memories}, keywords = {Device variability}, title = {Stochastic Modelling of Random Access Memories Reset Transitions}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matcom.2018.11.016}, author = {Aguilera Morillo, María del Carmen and Aguilera Del Pino, Ana María and Jiménez Molinos, Francisco and Roldán Aranda, Juan Bautista}, }
