Reliable data storage technologies able to operate at cryogenic temperatures are critical to implement scalable quantum computers and develop deep-space exploration systems, among other applications. Their scarce availability is pushing towards the development of emerging memories that can perform such storage in a non-volatile fashion. Resistive Random-Access Memories (RRAM) have demonstrated their switching capabilities down to 4K. However, their operability at lower temperatures still remain as a challenge. In this work, we demonstrate for the first time the forming and resistive switching capabilities of CMOS-compatible RRAM devices at 1.4K. The HfO2-based devices are deployed following an array of 1-transistor-1-resistor (1T1R) cells. Their switching performance at 1.4K was also tested in the multilevel-cell (MLC) approach, storing up to 4 resistance levels per cell.
