Conductive filament mechanism can explain major resistance switching behaviors. The forming/deforming of the filaments define the high/low resistance states. The ratio of high/low resistance depends on the characterization of the filaments. In many oxide systems, the oxygen vacancies are important to forming the conductive filaments for the resistance switching behaviors. As ultrawide band gap semiconductor, Ga2O3 has very high resistance for its high resistance state, while its low resistive state has relative high resistance, which normally results in low ratio of high/low resistance. In this letter, we report a high ratio of high/low resistance by ultraviolet radiation. The I–V characteristics of Au/Ti/β-Ga2O3/W sandwich structure device shows that the HRS to LRS ratio of 5 orders is achieved.

The development of thick-film functional devices having oscillation, negative resistance, switching, memory and so on has been needed.New non-volatile memory devices manufactured of Nb2O5-based thick-film have now been created. The thick-film devices have been prepared by using common thick-film technology such as screen printing, drying and firing. The characteristics and the operation of the devices are as follows:When a dc voltage is applied to the devices, rapid resistance change, so called switching effect, occurs. The devices have low resistance state. Even when the voltage is removed completely, the devices do not return to high resistance state and keep low resistance state. However, when alternating voltage is impressed upon the devices, the low resistance state goes to the high resistance state. The recovery time of the resistance state depends upon the frequency of applied ac voltage. The higher frequency voltage that is applied, the sooner the recovery time becomes. The threshold voltage exponentially increases with higher frequency of an applied ac voltage.In addition to the memory effect, the Nb2O5-based thick-film devices have a switching and oscillation characteristic.

SiO2thin films were fabricated as resistive layers of Cu/SiO2/Pt devices to investigate resistive switching properties. A thermal annealing was performed to allow for the diffusion of Cu ions into the SiO2thin films, leading to the formation of Cu-doped SiO2layers. Occurrence probabilities of the resistive switching and initial resistance-states of the devices were influenced by SiO2thickness, which was dependent on the Cu diffusion status within the SiO2layer. The resistive switching behaviors were characterized by the voltage sweeping mode and the current sweeping mode. The current sweeping mode provided a desired compliance current to well control the resistive switching from the high resistance-state to the low resistance-state (SET). Therefore, the large RESET (from the low resistance-state to the high resistance-state) current was not inherent in the device, due to poor control of the compliance current by the voltage sweeping mode. The current sweeping mode is a simple method to characterize the RESET current.

An area-proportional current compliance can ensure the area-scalability of RRAM's resistance, in both the high resistance state and the low resistance state, which stems from voltage-controlled switching.

Abstract The resistive switching (RS) mechanism of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites is an open question until now. Here, a switchable diode-like RS behavior in MAPbBr3 single crystals using Au (or Pt) symmetric electrodes is reported. Both the high resistance state (HRS) and low resistance state (LRS) are electrode-area dependent and light responsive. We propose an electric-field-driven inner p-n junction accompanied by a trap-controlled SCLC conduction mechanism to explain this switchable diode-like RS behavior in MAPbBr3 single crystals.

. Perovskite manganite Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3 (PCMO) thin film nanostructures were grown on different substrates by chemical solution deposition to investigate its electrical switching properties. Planar structures consisting of Ag/Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3/Ag grown on SiO2, Si (100), LaAlO3 (100) and MgO (100) were characterized by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy and electrical measurements. In each case, single PCMO phase formation and smooth surface morphology was confirmed by XRD and AFM, respectively. Four terminal current voltage characteristics of Ag/PCMO/Ag planar geometry exhibited a sharp transition from a low resistance state (LRS) to a high resistance state (HRS) with a high resistance switching ratios of the order of 950 for PCMO films grown on quartz was estimated at room temperature. High resistance switching ratios were found to depend on the substrate, suggesting a role of lattice mismatch for resistance switching. We have observed that higher mismatch lead to better resistance switching in this compound. The observed conduction characteristics provide direct evidence of substrate strain induce resistance switching in the Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3.

Multiferroic BiCoO 3 nanoflowers were synthesized by a hydrothermal process. The BiCoO 3 nanoflowers show superior bipolar resistive switching characteristics. The typical current–voltage (I–V) characteristics of the Ag / BiCoO 3/ Ag structures exhibit an extreme change in resistance between high resistance state (HRS) or "OFF" state and low resistance state (LRS) or "ON" state with ON/OFF ratio ~ 105.

Resistive random-access memory (RRAM) devices are noticeable next generation memory devices. However, only few studies have been conducted regarding RRAM devices made of alloy. In this paper, we investigate the resistive switching behaviors of an Au/Ti/HfTiOx/p-Si memory device. The bipolar switching is characterized depending on compliance current under DC sweep mode. Good retention in the low-resistance state and high-resistance state is attained for nonvolatile memory and long-term memory in a synapse device. For practical switching operation, the pulse transient characteristics are studied for set and reset processes. Moreover, a synaptic weight change is achieved by a moderate pulse input for the potentiation and depression characteristics of the synaptic device. We reveal that the high-resistance state and low-resistance state are dominated by Schottky emissions.

ABSTRACTNonvolatile unipolar resistive switching has been observed in Sm doped BFO thin films in Pt/Sm: BFO/SRO stack geometry. The initial forming voltage was found to be ∼ 11 V. After the forming process repeatable switching of the resistance of Sm:BFO film was obtained between low and high resistance states with nearly constant resistance ratio ∼ 105 and non overlapping switching voltages in the range of 0.7-1 V and 4-6 V respectively. The temperature dependent measurements of the resistance of the device indicated metallic and semiconducting conduction behavior in low and high resistance states respectively. The current conduction mechanism of the Pt/Sm:BFO/SRO device in low resistance states was found to be dominated by the Ohmic behavior while in case of high resistance state and at high voltages it deviated significantly from normal Ohmic behavior and was found to correspond the Pool-Frankel (PF) emission. The Pt/Sm:BFO/SRO structure also showed efficient photo-response in high and low resistance states with increase in photocurrent which was significantly higher in low resistance state when illuminated with white light.

A novel electric-pulse-induced reversible resistance (EPIR) change effect was observed in Ag/Ln1-xCaxMnO3/Pt (Ln= Pr, La) sandwich structure at room temperature without applied magnetic field. The Ln1-xCaxMnO3 films were grown on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate. The resistance of the Ag/Ln1-xCaxMnO3/Pt sandwich structure increases and reaches at a saturated high resistance state after applying a certain number of electric-pulse from Pt bottom electrode to Ln1-xCaxMnO3 layer, while it decreases and switches to a saturated low resistance state when the pulse polarity reversed. It is also found that the EPIR effect in the /Ln0.7Ca0.3MnO3/Pt system exhibits “fatigue” behavior, that is, for the high resistance state activated by electric-pulse, along the time after pulsing, the resistance decreases slowly after a certain stable stage; otherwise, the resistance change ratio decreases as the number of the high-low resistance switching circle increases. For the fatigue phenomenon with time, a resistance change with three stages was observed and a simple mechanism of the EPIR was proposed.
