Scaling effect on unipolar and bipolar resistive switching of metal oxides.

ABSTRACT: Electrically driven resistance change in metal oxides opens up an interdisciplinary research field for next-generation non-volatile memory. Resistive switching exhibits an electrical polarity dependent "bipolar-switching" and a polarity independent "unipolar-switching", however tailoring the electrical polarity has been a challenging issue. Here we demonstrate a scaling effect on the emergence of the electrical polarity by examining the resistive switching behaviors of Pt/oxide/Pt junctions over 8 orders of magnitudes in the areas. We show that the emergence of two electrical polarities can be categorised as a diagram of an electric field and a cell area. This trend is qualitatively common for various oxides including NiOx, CoOx, and TiO(2-x). We reveal the intrinsic difference between unipolar switching and bipolar switching on the area dependence, which causes a diversity of an electrical polarity for various resistive switching devices with different geometries. This will provide a foundation for tailoring resistive switching behaviors of metal oxides.

Switching Power Universality in Unipolar Resistive Switching Memories.

Project description:We investigate the resistive switching power from unipolar resistive switching current-voltage characteristics in various binary metal oxide films sandwiched by different metal electrodes, and find a universal feature (the so-called universality) in the switching power among these devices. To experimentally derive the switching power universality, systematic measurements of the switching voltage and current are performed, and neither of these correlate with one another. As the switching resistance (R) increases, the switching power (P) decreases following a power law P???R(-?), regardless of the device configurations. The observed switching power universality is indicative of the existence of a commonly applicable switching mechanism. The origin of the power universality is discussed based on a metallic filament model and thermo-chemical reaction.

Transition between bipolar and abnormal bipolar resistive switching in amorphous oxides with a mobility edge.

Project description:Resistive switching is an important phenomenon for future memory devices such as resistance random access memories or neuronal networks. While there are different types of resistive switching, such as filament or interface switching, this work focuses on bulk switching in amorphous, binary oxides. Bulk switching was found experimentally in different oxides, for example in amorphous gallium oxide. The forms of the observed current-voltage curves differ, however, fundamentally. Even within the same material, both abnormal bipolar and normal bipolar resistive switching were found. Here, we use a new drift-diffusion model to theoretically investigate bulk switching in amorphous oxides where the electronic conductivity can be described by Mott's concept of a mobility edge. We show not only that a strong, non-linear dependence of the electronic conductivity on the oxygen content is necessary for bulk switching but also that changing the geometry of the memristive device causes the transition between abnormal and normal bipolar switching.

Self-Compliant Bipolar Resistive Switching in SiN-Based Resistive Switching Memory.

Project description:Here, we present evidence of self-compliant and self-rectifying bipolar resistive switching behavior in Ni/SiNx/n⁺ Si and Ni/SiNx/n++ Si resistive-switching random access memory devices. The Ni/SiNx/n++ Si device's Si bottom electrode had a higher dopant concentration (As ion > 1019 cm-3) than the Ni/SiNx/n⁺ Si device; both unipolar and bipolar resistive switching behaviors were observed for the higher dopant concentration device owing to a large current overshoot. Conversely, for the device with the lower dopant concentration (As ion < 1018 cm-3), self-rectification and self-compliance were achieved owing to the series resistance of the Si bottom electrode.

Filament Geometry Induced Bipolar, Complementary, and Unipolar Resistive Switching under the Same Set Current Compliance in Pt/SiOx/TiN.

Project description:The decidedly unusual co-occurrence of bipolar, complementary, and unipolar resistive switching (BRS, CRS, and URS, respectively) behavior under the same high set current compliance (set-CC) is discussed on the basis of filament geometry in a Pt/SiOx/TiN stack. Set-CC-dependent scaling behavior with relations Ireset ~ R0(-α) and Vreset ~ R0(-β) differentiates BRS under low set-CC from other switching behaviors under high set-CC due to a low α and β involving a narrow filamentary path. Because such co-occurrence is observed only in the case of a high α and β involving a wide filamentary path, such a path can be classified into three different geometries according to switching behavior in detail. From the cyclic switching and a model simulation, we conclude that the reset of BRS originates from a narrower filamentary path near the top electrode than that of CRS due to the randomness of field-driven migration even under the same set-CC. Also, we conclude that URS originates from much narrower inversed conical filamentary path. Therefore, filament-geometry-dependent electric field and/or thermal effects can precisely describe the entire switching behaviors in this experiment.

Reversible voltage dependent transition of abnormal and normal bipolar resistive switching.

Project description:Clear understanding the mechanism of resistive switching is the important prerequisite for the realization of high performance nonvolatile resistive random access memory. In this paper, binary metal oxide MoOx layer sandwiched by ITO and Pt electrodes was taken as a model system, reversible transition of abnormal and normal bipolar resistive switching (BRS) in dependence on the maximum voltage was observed. At room temperature, below a critical maximum voltage of 2.6 V, butterfly shaped I-V curves of abnormal BRS has been observed with low resistance state (LRS) to high resistance state (HRS) transition in both polarities and always LRS at zero field. Above 2.6 V, normal BRS was observed, and HRS to LRS transition happened with increasing negative voltage applied. Temperature dependent I-V measurements showed that the critical maximum voltage increased with decreasing temperature, suggesting the thermal activated motion of oxygen vacancies. Abnormal BRS has been explained by the partial compensation of electric field from the induced dipoles opposite to the applied voltage, which has been demonstrated by the clear amplitude-voltage and phase-voltage hysteresis loops observed by piezoelectric force microscopy. The normal BRS was due to the barrier modification at Pt/MoOx interface by the accumulation and depletion of oxygen vacancies.

Enhanced Unipolar Resistive Switching Characteristics of Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 Thin Films with High ON/OFF Ratio.

Project description:A metal-insulator-metal structure resistive switching device based on H0.5Z0.5O₂ (HZO) thin film deposited by pulse laser deposition (PLD) has been investigated for resistive random access memory (RRAM) applications. The devices demonstrated bistable and reproducible unipolar resistive switching (RS) behaviors with an extremely high OFF/ON ratio over 5400. The retention property had no degradation at 6 × 10⁴ s. The current-voltage characteristics of the HZO samples showed a Schottky emission conduction in the high voltage region (Vreset < V < Vset), while at the low voltage region (V < Vreset), the ohmic contact and space charge limited conduction (SCLC) are suggested to be responsible for the low and high resistance states, respectively. Combined with the conductance mechanism, the RS behaviors are attributed to joule heating and redox reactions in the HZO thin film induced by the external electron injection.

SPICE Implementation of the Dynamic Memdiode Model for Bipolar Resistive Switching Devices.

Project description:This paper reports the fundamentals and the SPICE implementation of the Dynamic Memdiode Model (DMM) for the conduction characteristics of bipolar-type resistive switching (RS) devices. Following Prof. Chua's memristive devices theory, the memdiode model comprises two equations, one for the electron transport based on a heuristic extension of the quantum point-contact model for filamentary conduction in thin dielectrics and a second equation for the internal memory state related to the reversible displacement of atomic species within the oxide film. The DMM represents a breakthrough with respect to the previous Quasi-static Memdiode Model (QMM) since it describes the memory state of the device as a balance equation incorporating both the snapback and snapforward effects, features of utmost importance for the accurate and realistic simulation of the RS phenomenon. The DMM allows simple setting of the initial memory condition as well as decoupled modeling of the set and reset transitions. The model equations are implemented in the LTSpice simulator using an equivalent circuital approach with behavioral components and sources. The practical details of the model implementation and its modes of use are also discussed.

Bipolar resistive switching in p-type Co3O4 nanosheets prepared by electrochemical deposition.

Project description:Metal oxide nanosheets have potential applications in novel nanoelectronics as nanocrystal building blocks. In this work, the devices with a structure of Au/p-type Co3O4 nanosheets/indium tin oxide/glass having bipolar resistive switching characteristics were successfully fabricated. The experimental results demonstrate that the device have stable high/low resistance ratio that is greater than 25, endurance performance more than 200 cycles, and data retention more than 10,000 s. Such a superior performance of the as-fabricated device could be explained by the bulk film and Co3O4/indium tin oxide glass substrate interface effect.

Understanding the Reversible Transition of Unipolar and Bipolar Resistive Switching Characteristics in Solution-Derived Nanocrystalline Au-Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> Thin-Film Memristors.

Project description:Nanocrystalline Au-Co3O4 thin films were fabricated through a facile solution-processing method, and voltage-polarity-dependent resistive switching (RS) characteristics including variability of Set/Reset voltages, stability of cycling endurance, and carriers transport mechanism were studied in the Pt/Au-Co3O4/Pt memory devices. The switching voltages of the Set and Reset processes in the bipolar RS memristors exhibited lower variability as compared to the unipolar resistance switching devices. Moreover, the switching performance of cycle-to-cycle endurance in bipolar mode had a smaller fluctuation than those of unipolar switching behavior. Based on the current-voltage curve fitting analysis, it was found that Ohmic-conduction behaviors dominated the carriers transport of low-resistance state regardless of unipolar or bipolar switching behaviors. The carrier transport of high resistance state was governed following Poole-Frenkel emission and Schottky emission mechanisms in the unipolar and bipolar switching modes, respectively. The physical switching mechanism of Pt/Au-Co3O4/Pt memory devices was proposed using the model by means of growth and disruption of conducting filaments, involved in memory effects of thermochemical mechanism and valence change mechanism in the unipolar and bipolar RS, respectively. The proposed model following the finite element method revealed the roles of electrical field distribution and temperature gradient to further clarify the RS mechanism. Our results open a door for understanding and optimizing oxide-based thin-film resistance switching memory devices.

Analog and Digital Bipolar Resistive Switching in Co-Al-Layered Double Hydroxide Memristor.

Project description:We demonstrate a nonvolatile memristor based on Co-Al-layered double hydroxide (Co-Al LDH). We also introduce a memristor that has a hexazinone-adsorbing Co-Al LDH composite active layer. Memristor characteristics could be modulated by adsorbing hexazinone with Co-Al LDHs in the active layer. While different, Co-Al LDH-based memory devices show gradual current changes, and the memory device with small molecules of adsorbed hexazinone undergo abrupt changes. Both devices demonstrate programmable memory peculiarities. In particular, both memristors show rewritable resistive switching with electrical bistability (>105 s). This research manifests the promising potential of 2D nanocomposite materials for adsorbing electroactive small molecules and rectifying resistive switching properties for memristors, paving a way for design of promising 2D nanocomposite memristors for advanced device applications.
