Nonvolatile resistive switching in single crystalline ZnO nanowires.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate nonvolatile resistive switching in single crystalline ZnO nanowires with high ON/OFF ratios and low threshold voltages. Unlike the mechanism of continuous metal filament formation along grain boundaries in polycrystalline films, the resistive switching in single crystalline ZnO nanowires is speculated to be induced by the formation of a metal island chain on the nanowire surface. Resistive memories based on bottom-up semiconductor nanowires hold potential for next generation ultra-dense nonvolatile memories.

Resistive switching in Ga- and Sb-doped ZnO single nanowire devices
Resistive random access memory (RRAM) is one of the most promising nonvolatile memory technologies because of its high potential to replace traditional charge-based memory, which is approaching its scaling limit. To fully realize the potential of the RRAM, it can be important to develop a unique device with current self-rectification, which provides a solution to suppress sneak current in cross...
متن کاملResistive Switching of Plasma–Treated Zinc Oxide Nanowires for Resistive Random Access Memory
ZnO nanowires (NWs) were grown on Si(100) substrates at 975 °C by a vapor-liquid-solid method with ~2 nm and ~4 nm gold thin films as catalysts, followed by an argon plasma treatment for the as-grown ZnO NWs. A single ZnO NW-based memory cell with a Ti/ZnO/Ti structure was then fabricated to investigate the effects of plasma treatment on the resistive switching. The plasma treatment improves th...

Resistive switching (RS) devices are widely believed as a promising candidate for next generation nonvolatile resistance random access memory. Here, Zn2SnO4-sheathed ZnO core/shell heterostructure nanowires were constructed through a polymeric sol-gel approach followed by post-annealing. The back-to-back bipolar RS properties were observed in the Ohmic contact two-terminal devices based on indi...
متن کاملCurrent self-complianced and self-rectifying resistive switching in Ag-electroded single Na-doped ZnO nanowires.
We demonstrate current self-complianced and self-rectifying bipolar resistive switching in an Ag-electroded Na-doped ZnO nanowire device. The resistive switching is controlled by the formation and rupture of an Ag nanoisland chain on the surface along the Na-doped ZnO nanowire. Na-doping plays important roles in both the self-compliance and self-rectifying properties.
