Abstract
A method for programming a resistive random-access memory (ReRAM) cell includes passing a first current through the ReRAM device for a first period of time, the first current selected to create a leakage path through the ReRAM device, and after passing the first current through the ReRAM device passing a second current through the ReRAM device for a second period of time shorter than the first period of time, the second current selected to create a current path having a desired resistance through the leakage path through the ReRAM device.
