Low-frequency noise spectroscopy plays a crucial role in understanding resistive switching mechanisms and filament dynamics in RRAM devices [1]. In this work, we compare the noise characteristics of undoped [2] and La-doped [3] HfO2-based devices across multiple resistance states and during DC cycling. Measurements are complemented by phenomenological simulations that assume various states of a stable filament with differing amounts of surrounding defects. The results provide new insights into the roles of filament geometry and defect densities on resistance and noise behaviour. We identify multi-stage resistance-noise scaling relationships, highlighting the competition between trap numbers and system size. These findings offer deeper insight into switching dynamics and the role of doping in modulating noise sources, contributing to the optimisation of RRAM configurations for neuromorphic applications.
