Data-centric applications are pushing the limits of energy-efficiency in today’s computing systems, including those based on phase-change memory (PCM). This technology must achieve low-power and stable operation at nanoscale dimensions to succeed in high-density memory arrays. Here we use a novel combination of phase-change material superlattices and nanocomposites (based on Ge4Sb6Te7), to achieve record-low power density ≈ 5 MW/cm2 and ≈ 0.7 V switching voltage (compatible with modern logic processors) in PCM devices with the smallest dimensions to date (≈ 40 nm) for a superlattice technology on a CMOS-compatible substrate. These devices also simultaneously exhibit low resistance drift with 8 resistance states, good endurance (≈ 2 × 108 cycles), and fast switching (≈ 40 ns). The efficient switching is enabled by strong heat confinement within the superlattice materials and the nanoscale device dimensions. The microstructural properties of the Ge4Sb6Te7 nanocomposite and its high crystallization temperature ensure the fast-switching speed and stability in our superlattice PCM devices. These results re-establish PCM technology as one of the frontrunners for energy-efficient data storage and computing.

The high speed, scalability, and parallelism offered by ReRAM crossbar arrays foster the development of ReRAM-based next-generation AI accelerators. At the same time, the sensitivity of ReRAM to temperature variations decreases R 𝑂 𝑁 /R 𝑂𝐹𝐹 ratio and negatively affects the achieved accuracy and reliability of the hardware. Various works on temperatureaware optimization and remapping in ReRAM crossbar arrays reported up to 58% improvement in accuracy and 2.39× ReRAM lifetime enhancement. This paper classifies the challenges caused by thermal heat, starting from constraints in ReRAM cells' dimensions and characteristics to their placement in the architecture. In addition, it reviews the available solutions designed to mitigate the impact of these challenges, including emerging temperature-resilient Deep Neural Network (DNN) training methods. Our work also provides a summary of the techniques and their advantages and limitations.
