Abstract
A model to account for the dynamic thermal behavior of RRAMs for circuit simulation is presented. The time dependent heat equation in a cylindrical CF has been solved and the obtained model was implemented in a circuit simulator. The role of the thermal capacitance has been studied in depth comparing simulations including fixed and variable thermal capacitances for different voltage pulses. It is shown that thermal transients should be taken into account including variable thermal capacitances for a correct circuit description
