Discover LudwigThe phrase "a hard breakdown" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a severe or significant failure, collapse, or analysis of a situation or system.
Example: "After the project faced a hard breakdown, the team had to reassess their strategy and approach."
Alternatives: "a severe failure" or "a major collapse."

After the initial reset operation, the set operation was achieved by sweeping a positive voltage from 0 to 1.5 V with 1 mA of current compliance to protect the device from a hard breakdown (curve 3).
The gate oxide in the s-Si structure exhibits a hard breakdown (HBD) at 1.9 × 104 s, whereas HBD is not observed in bulk Si up to a measurement period of 1.44 × 105 s.

In addition, the compliance current was set to 1 mA to avoid any hard breakdown of the devices.
The maximum current was limited by a compliance current (CC) to avoid a permanent hard breakdown when unipolar HRS switched to LRS. Figure 1 SEM image and unipolar RS behaviors of ZnO microwire and distribution of set and reset voltages.
Therefore, the device cannot switch to HRS by applying a negative voltage, indicating that an irreversible hard breakdown occurs in Pt/HfO2/TiO2/HfO2/TiN device.
The insulating Hf N Ox vacancy clusters (Vo+) protect the device from hard breakdown and perform a self-compliance property.
In order to prevent hard breakdown of RRAM device, a current-limiting resistor of 3 kΩ was connected in series with the device.
A 50-μA compliance current was used to prevent hard breakdown.
After more than 103 sweep cycles, a repeatable self-protective characteristic of the device without hard breakdown was observed.
When a positive voltage sweep with an I comp of 1 uA (to prevent the device hard breakdown) were firstly applied whereas their BE were grounded, then as-fabricated devices transform into the LRS (or ON state), i.e., the SET process (for Device02 and Device28).
The detailed I-V characteristics reveal that the two N-SET behaviors have an obvious different voltage and the N-SET behaviors may cause hard breakdown because of the high compliance current in the N-RESET process.
