Abstract

The disclosure is directed to a method and an apparatus for verifying an operation performed by a cell of a RRAM. In an aspect of the disclosure, the method of verifying an operation performed by a cell of a RRAM would include not limited to performing a first write operation by applying a first write voltage on a cell of the RRAM; measuring a first resistance and a first rate of change of the resistance of the cell; detecting whether the first rate of change of the resistance is below a negative change of resistance threshold; detecting whether the first resistance is below a target resistance value in response to having detected that the first rate of change of the resistance is below the negative change of resistance threshold; and having determined the cell is valid in response to having detected the first resistance dropping below the target resistance value.
