Unipolar resistive switching of ZnO-single-wire memristors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Well unipolar resistive switching (RS) behaviors were observed from Ag/ZnO single-microwire/Ag memristors. The reset voltages were larger than the set voltages, and all of them were less than 1 V. The resistance ratios of high-resistance state (HRS) to low-resistance state (LRS) reached 10(3). The bistable RS behaviors were entirely reversible and steady within 100 cycles. It was found that the dominant conduction mechanisms in LRS and HRS were ohmic behavior and space-charge-limited current (SCLC), respectively.

Thermophoresis/diffusion as a plausible mechanism for unipolar resistive switching in metal–oxide–metal memristors
We show that the SET operation of a unipolar memristor could be explained by thermophoresis, or the Soret effect, which is the diffusion of atoms, ions or vacancies in a steep temperature gradient. This mechanism explains the observed resistance switching via conducting channel formation and dissolution reported for TiO2 and other metal-oxide-based unipolar resistance switches. Depending on the...
متن کاملLogic with Unipolar Memristors - Circuits and Design Methodology
Memristors are a general name for a set of emerging resistive switching technologies. These two terminal devices are characterized by a varying resistance, which is controlled by the voltage or current applied to them. The resistance state of a memristor is nonvolatile, and as such makes memristors attractive candidates for use as novel memory elements. Apart from their use for memory applicati...
متن کاملSemiempirical Modeling of Reset Transitions in Unipolar Resistive-Switching Based Memristors
We have measured the transition process from the high to low resistivity states, i.e., the reset process of resistive switching based memristors based on Ni/HfO2/Sin+ structures, and have also developed an analytical model for their electrical characteristics. When the characteristic curves are plotted in the current-voltage (I-V) domain a high variability is observed. In spite of that, when th...

Resistive memories are considered the most promising candidates for the next generation of non-volatile memory; however, attention has so far been limited to rewritable memory features for applications in resistive random access memories (RRAM). In this article, we provide a new insight into the applicability of resistive memories. The characteristics of non-rewritable resistive memories (NRRM)...
متن کاملA behavioral model of unipolar resistive RAMs and its application to HSPICE integration
Resistive RAMs (ReRAMs), where the resistance is changed by voltage and current biases, have extensively been studied to develop high-speed and large-capacity nonvolatile memories as well as functional nonvolatile memories. ReRAMs are so far intended for use as alternatives to contemporary flash memories, but the applications are not limited to Boolean alternatives. Although physical mechanisms...
