Direct evidence on Ta-Metal Phases Igniting Resistive Switching in TaO(x) Thin Film.

ABSTRACT: A Ta/TaOx/Pt stacked capacitor-like device for resistive switching was fabricated and examined. The tested device demonstrated stable resistive switching characteristics including uniform distribution of resistive switching operational parameters, highly promising endurance, and retention properties. To reveal the resistive switching mechanism of the device, micro structure analysis using high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM) was performed. From the observation results, two different phases of Ta-metal clusters of cubic α-Ta and tetragonal β-Ta were founded in the amorphous TaOx mother-matrix after the device was switched from high resistance state (HRS) to low resistance state (LRS) by externally applied voltage bias. The observed Ta metal clusters unveiled the origin of the electric conduction paths in the TaOx thin film at the LRS.

Light Induced Electron-Phonon Scattering Mediated Resistive Switching in Nanostructured Nb Thin Film Superconductor.

Project description:The elemental Nb is mainly investigated for its eminent superconducting properties. In contrary, we report of a relatively unexplored property, namely, its superior optoelectronic property in reduced dimension. We demonstrate here that nanostructured Nb thin films (NNFs), under optical illumination, behave as room temperature photo-switches and exhibit bolometric features below its superconducting critical temperature. Both photo-switch and superconducting bolometric behavior are monitored by its resistance change with light in visible and near infrared (NIR) wavelength range. Unlike the conventional photodetectors, the NNF devices switch to higher resistive states with light and the corresponding resistivity change is studied with thickness and grain size variations. At low temperature in its superconducting state, the light exposure shifts the superconducting transition towards lower temperature. The room temperature photon sensing nature of the NNF is explained by the photon assisted electron-phonon scattering mechanism while the low temperature light response is mainly related to the heat generation which essentially changes the effective temperature for the device and the device is capable of sensing a temperature difference of few tens of milli-kelvins. The observed photo-response on the transport properties of NNFs can be very important for future superconducting photon detectors, bolometers and phase slip based device applications.

Engineering interface-type resistive switching in BiFeO3 thin film switches by Ti implantation of bottom electrodes.

Project description:BiFeO3 based MIM structures with Ti-implanted Pt bottom electrodes and Au top electrodes have been fabricated on Sapphire substrates. The resulting metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structures show bipolar resistive switching without an electroforming process. It is evidenced that during the BiFeO3 thin film growth Ti diffuses into the BiFeO3 layer. The diffused Ti effectively traps and releases oxygen vacancies and consequently stabilizes the resistive switching in BiFeO3 MIM structures. Therefore, using Ti implantation of the bottom electrode, the retention performance can be greatly improved with increasing Ti fluence. For the used raster-scanned Ti implantation the lateral Ti distribution is not homogeneous enough and endurance slightly degrades with Ti fluence. The local resistive switching investigated by current sensing atomic force microscopy suggests the capability of down-scaling the resistive switching cell to one BiFeO3 grain size by local Ti implantation of the bottom electrode.

Valence Change Bipolar Resistive Switching Accompanied With Magnetization Switching in CoFe2O4 Thin Film.

Project description:Resistive Switching in oxides has offered new opportunities for developing resistive random access memory (ReRAM) devices. Here we demonstrated bipolar Resistive Switching along with magnetization switching of cobalt ferrite (CFO) thin film using Al/CFO/FTO sandwich structure, which makes it a potential candidate for developing future multifunctional memory devices. The device shows good retention characteristic time (>104?seconds) and endurance performance, a good resistance ratio of high resistance state (HRS) and low resistance state (LRS) ~103. Nearly constant resistance values in LRS and HRS confirm the stability and non-volatile nature of the device. The device shows different conduction mechanisms in the HRS and LRS i.e. Schottky, Poole Frenkel and Ohmic. Magnetization of the device is also modulated by applied electric field which has been attributed to the oxygen vacancies formed/annihilated during the voltage sweep and indicates the presence of valence change mechanism (VCM) in our device. It is suggested that push/pull of oxygen ions from oxygen diffusion layer during voltage sweep is responsible for forming/rupture of oxygen vacancies conducting channels, leading to switching between LRS and HRS and for switching in magnetization in CFO thin film. Presence of VCM in our device was confirmed by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy at Al/CFO interface.

Chemically-inactive interfaces in thin film Ag/AgI systems for resistive switching memories.

Project description:AgI nanoionics-based resistive switching memories were studied in respect to chemical stability of the Ag/AgI interface using x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The apparent dissolution of Ag films of thickness below some tens of nanometers and the loss of electrode/electrolyte contact was critically addressed. The results evidently show that there are no chemical interactions at the interface despite the high ionic mobility of Ag ions. Simulation results further show that Ag metal clusters can form in the AgI layer with intermediate-range order at least up to next-next nearest neighbors, suggesting that Ag can permeate into the AgI only in an aggregated form of metal crystallite.

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.

Engineering of self-rectifying filamentary resistive switching in LiNbO3 single crystalline thin film via strain doping.

Project description:The abilities to fabricate wafer scale single crystalline oxide thin films on metallic substrates and to locally engineer their resistive switching characteristics not only contribute to the fundamental investigations of the resistive switching mechanism but also promote the practical applications of resistive switching devices. Here, wafer scale LiNbO3 (LNO) single crystalline thin films are fabricated on Pt/SiO2/LNO substrates by ion slicing with wafer bonding. The lattice strain of the LNO single crystalline thin films can be tuned by He implantation as indicated by XRD measurements. After He implantation, the LNO single crystalline thin films show self-rectifying filamentary resistive switching behaviors, which is interpreted by a model that the local conductive filaments only connect/disconnect with the bottom interface while the top interface maintains the Schottky contact. Thanks to the homogeneous distribution of defects in single crystalline thin films, highly reproducible and uniform self-rectifying resistive switching with large on/off ratio over four order of magnitude was achieved. Multilevel resistive switching can be obtained by varying the compliance current or by using different magnitude of writing voltage.

Magnetic Phases of Sputter Deposited Thin-Film Erbium.

Project description:We present a detailed structural and magnetic characterization of sputter deposited thin film erbium, determined by x-ray diffraction, transport measurements, magnetometry and neutron diffraction. This provides information on the onset and change of the magnetic state as a function of temperature and applied magnetic field. Many of the features of bulk material are reproduced. Also of interest is the identification of a conical magnetic state which repeats with a wavevector parallel to the c axis τc = 4/17 in units of the reciprocal lattice parameter c*, which is a state not observed in any other thin film or bulk measurements. The data from the various techniques are combined to construct magnetic field, temperature (H, T)-phase diagrams for the 200 nm-thick Er sample that serves as a foundation for future exploitation of this complex magnetic thin film system.

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.

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.

Stability scheme of ZnO-thin film resistive switching memory: influence of defects by controllable oxygen pressure ratio.

Project description:We report a stability scheme of resistive switching devices based on ZnO films deposited by radio frequency (RF) sputtering process at different oxygen pressure ratios. I-V measurements and statistical results indicate that the operating stability of ZnO resistive random access memory (ReRAM) devices is highly dependent on oxygen conditions. Data indicates that the ZnO film ReRAM device fabricated at 10% O2 pressure ratio exhibits the best performance. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) of ZnO at different O2 pressure ratios were investigated to reflect influence of structure to the stable switching behaviors. In addition, PL and XPS results were measured to investigate the different charge states triggered in ZnO by oxygen vacancies, which affect the stability of the switching behavior.
