We demonstrate that a continuum of intermediate states can beobtained by applying appropriate dc bias waveforms. Cumulative writing and erasing admittancecycles were performed by applying triangular voltage waveform of increasing amplitude. The influence of the initial conditions on the variation of the real (conductance) and imaginary (susceptance)components of the admittance is described. An accurate control of the memory state is achievedboth in terms of the conductance and the susceptance by means of an adequate selection of thevoltage values previously applied. A method to obtain three-dimensional voltage-conductance-susceptance state-plots is described in detail. Memory maps of admittance parameters as a function ofthe programming voltage are made by sensing the memory state at 0 V, without static power consumption. The multilevel nature of RRAM devices and their suitability for neuromorphic computation are demonstrated.
