Integration of LaMnO_3+δ films on platinized silicon substrates for resistive switching applications by PI-MOCVD.

ABSTRACT: The next generation of electronic devices requires faster operation velocity, higher storage capacity and reduction of the power consumption. In this context, resistive switching memory chips emerge as promising candidates for developing new non-volatile memory modules. Manganites have received increasing interest as memristive material as they exhibit a remarkable switching response. Nevertheless, their integration in CMOS-compatible substrates, such as silicon wafers, requires further effort. Here the integration of LaMnO_3+δ as memristive material in a metal-insulator-metal structure is presented using a silicon-based substrate and the pulsed injection metal organic chemical vapour deposition technique. We have developed three different growth strategies with which we are able to tune the oxygen content and Mn oxidation state moving from an orthorhombic to a rhombohedral structure for the active LaMnO_3+δ material. Furthermore, a good resistive switching response has been obtained for LaMnO_3+δ-based devices fabricated using optimized growth strategies.

Resistive Switching Characteristics of HfO2 Thin Films on Mica Substrates Prepared by Sol-Gel Process.

Project description:The resistive switching (RS) characteristics of flexible films deposited on mica substrates have rarely been reported upon, especially flexible HfO2 films. A novel flexible Au/HfO2/Pt/mica resistive random access memory device was prepared by a sol-gel process, and a Au/HfO2/Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si (100) device was also prepared for comparison. The HfO2 thin films were grown into the monoclinic phase by the proper annealing process at 700 °C, demonstrated by grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction patterns. The ratio of high/low resistance (off/on) reached 1000 and 50 for the two devices, respectively, being relatively stable for the former but not for the latter. The great difference in ratios for the two devices may have been caused by different concentrations of the oxygen defect obtained by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectra indicating composition and chemical state of the HfO2 thin films. The conduction mechanism was dominated by Ohm's law in the low resistance state, while in high resistance state, Ohmic conduction, space charge limited conduction (SCLC), and trap-filled SCLC conducted together.

Resistive switching studies in VO2 thin films.

Project description:The hysteretic insulator-to-metal transition of VO2 is studied in detail for pulsed laser deposition grown thin films on TiO2 substrates, under variation of temperature and applied bias currents. This system is of interest for novel electronics based on memristive concepts, in particular as the resistive transition in these films occurs close to room temperature. Multiple, stable resistance states can be set controllably in the temperature range of the hysteretic phase transition by tailored temperature sweeps or by Joule heating induced by current pulses.

Nanostructures Stacked on Hafnium Oxide Films Interfacing Graphene and Silicon Oxide Layers as Resistive Switching Media.

Project description:SiO2 films were grown to thicknesses below 15 nm by ozone-assisted atomic layer deposition. The graphene was a chemical vapor deposited on copper foil and transferred wet-chemically to the SiO2 films. On the top of the graphene layer, either continuous HfO2 or SiO2 films were grown by plasma-assisted atomic layer deposition or by electron beam evaporation, respectively. Micro-Raman spectroscopy confirmed the integrity of the graphene after the deposition processes of both the HfO2 and SiO2. Stacked nanostructures with graphene layers intermediating the SiO2 and either the SiO2 or HfO2 insulator layers were devised as the resistive switching media between the top Ti and bottom TiN electrodes. The behavior of the devices was studied comparatively with and without graphene interlayers. The switching processes were attained in the devices supplied with graphene interlayers, whereas in the media consisting of the SiO2-HfO2 double layers only, the switching effect was not observed. In addition, the endurance characteristics were improved after the insertion of graphene between the wide band gap dielectric layers. Pre-annealing the Si/TiN/SiO2 substrates before transferring the graphene further improved the performance.

Resistive switching and battery-like characteristics in highly transparent Ta2O5/ITO thin-films.

Project description:Highly transparent resistive-switching (RS) devices were fabricated by growing amorphous tantalum pentoxide (a-Ta2O5) and indium tin oxide (a-ITO) thin films on barium-borosilicate glass (7059) substrates, using electron beam evaporation. These layers exhibited the transmittance greater than ~ 85% in the full visible region and showed RS behavior and battery-like IV characteristics. The overall characteristics of RS can be tuned using the top electrode and the thickness of a-Ta2O5. Thinner films showed a conventional RS behavior, while thicker films with metal electrodes showed a battery-like characteristic, which could be explained by additional redox reactions and non-Faradaic capacitive effects. Devices having battery-like IV characteristics showed higher enhanced, retention and low-operation current.

Tuning of resistive memory switching in electropolymerized metallopolymeric films.

Project description:A diruthenium complex capped with two triphenylamine units was polymerized by electrochemical oxidation to afford metallopolymeric films with alternating diruthenium and tetraphenylbenzidine structures. The obtained thin films feature rich redox processes associated with the reduction of the bridging ligands (tetra(pyrid-2-yl)pyrazine) and the oxidation of the tetraphenylbenzidine and diruthenium segments. The sandwiched ITO/polymer film/Al electrical devices show excellent resistive memory switching with a low operational voltage, large ON/OFF current ratio (100-1000), good stability (500 cycles tested), and long retention time. In stark contrast, devices with polymeric films of a related monoruthenium complex show poor memory performance. The mechanism of the field-induced conductivity of the diruthenium polymer film is rationalized by the formation of a charge transfer state, as supported by DFT calculations.

Screen Printed Copper and Tantalum Modified Potassium Sodium Niobate Thick Films on Platinized Alumina Substrates.

Project description:We show how sintering in different atmospheres affects the structural, microstructural, and functional properties of ~30 μm thick films of K0.5Na0.5NbO3 (KNN) modified with 0.38 mol% K5.4Cu1.3Ta10O29 and 1 mol% CuO. The films were screen printed on platinized alumina substrates and sintered at 1100 °C in oxygen or in air with or without the packing powder (PP). The films have a preferential crystallographic orientation of the monoclinic perovskite phase in the [100] and [-101] directions. Sintering in the presence of PP contributes to obtaining phase-pure films, which is not the case for the films sintered without any PP notwithstanding the sintering atmosphere. The latter group is characterized by a slightly finer grain size, from 0.1 μm to ~2 μm, and lower porosity, ~6% compared with ~13%. Using piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis of oxygen-sintered films, we found that the perovskite grains are composed of multiple domains which are preferentially oriented. Thick films sintered in oxygen exhibit a piezoelectric d33 coefficient of 64 pm/V and an effective thickness coupling coefficient kt of 43%, as well as very low mechanical losses of less than 0.5%, making them promising candidates for lead-free piezoelectric energy harvesting applications.

Bi-stable resistive switching characteristics in Ti-doped ZnO thin films.

Project description:Ti-doped ZnO (ZnO/Ti) thin films were grown on indium tin oxide substrates by a facile electrodeposition route. The morphology, crystal structure and resistive switching properties were examined, respectively. The morphology reveals that grains are composed of small crystals. The (002) preferential growth along c-axis of ZnO/Ti could be observed from structural analysis. The XPS study shows the presence of oxygen vacancies in the prepared films. Typical bipolar and reversible resistance switching effects were observed. High ROFF/RON ratios (approximately 14) and low operation voltages within 100 switching cycles are obtained. The filament theory and the interface effect are suggested to be responsible for the resistive switching phenomenon.

One-Stage Hydrothermal Growth and Characterization of Epitaxial LaMnO3 Films on SrTiO3 Substrate.

Project description:Epitaxial LaMnO3 thin films were grown on SrTiO3 substrate using a one-stage hydrothermal route from La(NO3)3, MnCl2 and KMnO4 in an aqueous solution of 10 M KOH at 340 °C. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) indicate full coverage of LaMnO3 on the substrate. X-ray diffraction in the symmetric ω/2θ mode suggests the film has an out-of-plane preferred orientation along the [001] direction of the substrate. The LaMnO3 epitaxial thin film growth mechanism is proposed based on the analysis of the atomic sharp interface formed between LaMnO3 and the SrTiO3 substrate, as seen by aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (AC-STEM) imaging in combination with electronic energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). Compared with the conventional vapor deposition methods, the one-stage hydrothermal route opens up a new way to fabricate complex oxide epitaxial heterostructures.

Low-Power Resistive Switching Characteristic in HfO2/TiOx Bi-Layer Resistive Random-Access Memory.

Project description:Resistive random-access memory devices with atomic layer deposition HfO2 and radio frequency sputtering TiOx as resistive switching layers were fabricated successfully. Low-power characteristic with 1.52 μW set power (1 μA@1.52 V) and 1.12 μW reset power (1 μA@1.12 V) was obtained in the HfO2/TiOx resistive random-access memory (RRAM) devices by controlling the oxygen content of the TiOx layer. Besides, the influence of oxygen content during the TiOx sputtering process on the resistive switching properties would be discussed in detail. The investigations indicated that "soft breakdown" occurred easily during the electrical forming/set process in the HfO2/TiOx RRAM devices with high oxygen content of the TiOx layer, resulting in high resistive switching power. Low-power characteristic was obtained in HfO2/TiOx RRAM devices with appropriately high oxygen vacancy density of TiOx layer, suggesting that the appropriate oxygen vacancy density in the TiOx layer could avoid "soft breakdown" through the whole dielectric layers during forming/set process, thus limiting the current flowing through the RRAM device and decreasing operating power consumption.

Reversible switching mode change in Ta2O5-based resistive switching memory (ReRAM).

Project description:We report the complementary resistive switching (CRS) behaviors in a tantalum-oxide based resistive switching memory device that reversibly changes its switching mode between bipolar switching (BRS) and CRS in a single memory cell depending on the operation (compliance current) and fabrication (oxygen scavenger layer thickness) conditions. In addition, the origin of the switching mode transition was investigated through electrical and optical measurement, where the conductance is believed to be determined by two factors: formation of conductive filament and modulation of Schottky barrier. This result helps design a resistive switching device with desirable and stable switching behavior.
