Unipolar Resistive Switching

ABSTRACTRare-earth oxides have attracted considerable research interest in resistive random access memories (ReRAMs) due to their compatibility with complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process. To this end we report unipolar resistive switching in a novel ternary rare-earth oxide LaHoO3 (LHO) to accelerate progress and to support advances in this emerging densely scalable research architecture. Amorphous thin films of LHO were fabricated on Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrate by pulsed laser deposition, followed by sputter deposition of platinum top electrode through shadow mask in order to elucidate the resistive switching behavior of the resulting Pt/LHO/Pt metal-insulator-metal (MIM) device structure. Stable unipolar resistive switching characteristics with interesting switching parameters like, high resistance ratio of about 105 between high resistance state (HRS) and low resistance state (LRS), non-overlapping switching voltages with narrow dispersion, and excellent retention and endurance features were observed in Pt/LHO/Pt device structure. The observed resistive switching in LHO was explained by the formation/rupture of conductive filaments formed out of oxygen vacancies and metallic Ho atom. From the current-voltage characteristics of Pt/LHO/Pt structure, the conduction mechanism in LRS and HRS was found to be dominated by Ohm’s law and Poole-Frenkel emission, respectively.

Unipolar Resistive Switching

We investigated unipolar resistance switching in CuxO thin films. We studied on the resistive switching behavior associated with the annealing temperature of CuxO thin films and focused on HRTEM, XPS and AFM analyses. In this paper we investigated the surface and interface structures of CuxO films. Results show that there is a mount of oxygen content in the CuxO thin films which is contained in Cu (Ⅱ) oxides and Cu (Ⅰ) oxides. When annealing temperature increases the qualification of oxygen vacancies increase and more oxygen vacancies is connected with top and bottom electrode.

Unipolar Resistive Switching

Abstract Unipolar resistive switching behavior was observed in the as-fabricated Al/PVA/PbS QD/ITO device with ROFF/RON ratio of 3.15×103 with retentivity for prolonged time and repeatability of hysteresis loops. Schottky emission mechanism dominates conduction mechanism in low-resistance state and high-resistance state of the device. Unipolar resistive switching behavior observed in the device is attributed to Coulomb blockade. The observed characteristic in the device points toward possible application of PbS QDs in memory device.

Switching Characteristics

In this study, we have investigated influences of the thickness on the structure, surface morphology and resistive switching characteristics of CrOx thin films prepared by using DC reactive sputtering technique. The Raman and FTIR analysis revealed that multiphases including Cr2O3, CrO2, Cr8O21... phases coexist in the microstructure of CrOx film. It is noticed that the amount of stoichiometric Cr2O3 phase increased significantly as well as the surface morphology were more visible with less voids and more densed particles with larger thickness films. The Ag/CrOx/FTO devices exhibited bipolar resistive switching behavior and high reliability. The resistive switching ratio has decreased slightly with the thickness increments and was best achieved at CrOx – 100 nm devices.
