Compliance-Free ZrO2/ZrO2 − x/ZrO2 Resistive Memory with Controllable Interfacial Multistate Switching Behaviour
نویسندگان
چکیده
A controllable transformation from interfacial to filamentary switching mode is presented on a ZrO2/ZrO2 - x /ZrO2 tri-layer resistive memory. The two switching modes are investigated with possible switching and transformation mechanisms proposed. Resistivity modulation of the ZrO2 - x layer is proposed to be responsible for the switching in the interfacial switching mode through injecting/retracting of oxygen ions. The switching is compliance-free due to the intrinsic series resistor by the filaments formed in the ZrO2 layers. By tuning the RESET voltages, controllable and stable multistate memory can be achieved which clearly points towards the capability of developing the next-generation multistate high-performance memory.

Effect of non-lattice oxygen on ZrO2-based resistive switching memory
ZrO2-based resistive switching memory has attracted much attention according to its possible application in the next-generation nonvolatile memory. The Al/ZrO2/Pt resistive switching memory with bipolar resistive switching behavior is revealed in this work. The thickness of the ZrO2 film is only 20 nm. The device yield improved by the non-lattice oxygen existing in the ZrO2 film deposited at ro...
متن کاملStability, bistability and instability of amorphous ZrO2 resistive memory devices
Amorphous zirconium oxide thin films deposited at room temperature, sandwiched between Pt and Ti electrodes, show resistive bipolar resistive switching with good overall performance figures (retention, ON/OFF ratio and durability). A variability observed during electrical characterisation is consistent with the coexistence of two different resistive switching mechanisms within the ZrO2 layer. E...
متن کاملOn the resistive switching mechanisms of Cu/ZrO2 :Cu/Pt
We use convincing experimental evidences to demonstrate that the nonpolar resistive switching phenomenon observed in Cu /ZrO2 :Cu /Pt memory devices conforms to a filament formation and annihilation mechanism. Temperature-dependent switching characteristics show that a metallic filamentary channel is responsible for the low resistance state "ON state#. Further analysis reveals that the physical...
متن کاملResistance switching of Au-implanted-ZrO2 film for nonvolatile memory application
The resistive switching characteristics and switching mechanisms of the Au-implanted-ZrO2 film are extensively investigated for nonvolatile memory applications. Reversible resistance-switching behavior from a high resistance to low resistance state can be traced by dc voltage and pulse voltage. After more than 200 dc switching cycles, the resistance ratio between the high and low resistance sta...
متن کاملLight-Controlled ZrO2 Surface Hydrophilicity
In recent years many works are aimed at finding a method of controllable switching between hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of a surface. The hydrophilic surface state is generally determined by its energy. Change in the surface energy can be realized in several different ways. Here we report the ability to control the surface wettability of zirconium dioxide nano-coatings by changing the comp...
