A feasible approach is reported to reduce the switching current and increase nonlinearity in a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible Ti/SiNx /p+ -Si memristor by simply reducing cell size down sub-100 nm. Even though voltages gradually with decreasing device size, reset reduced because of overshoot effect. The scaled devices (sub-100 nm) exhibit gradual driven electric field, whereas that large (≥1 µm) Joule heating. For (60 nm), levels are tunable adjusting stop voltage...
