摘要: We demonstrated the polarization of resistive switching for Cu/VOx/Cu memory cell. Switching behaviors of Cu/VOx/Cu cell were tested by semiconductor device analyzer (Agilent B1500A), and the relative micro-analysis of I-V characteristics of VOx/Cu was characterized by conductive atomic force microscope (CAFM). The I-V test results indicated that both forming and the reversible resistive switching between low resistance state (LRS) and high resistance state (HRS) can be observed under either positive or negative sweep. The CAFM images for LRS and HRS directly exhibited evidences of the formation and rupture of filaments based on positive or negative voltage. Cu/VOx/Cu sandwiched structure exhibits a reversible resistive switching behavior and shows potential applications in the next generation nonvolatile memory field.

Abstract: We demonstrated the polarization of resistive switching for Cu/VOx/Cu memory cell. Switching behaviors of Cu/VOx/Cu cell were tested by semiconductor device analyzer (Agilent B1500A), and the relative micro-analysis of I–V characteristics of VOx/Cu was characterized by conductive atomic force microscope (CAFM). The I–V test results indicated that both forming and the reversible resistive switching between low resistance state (LRS) and high resistance state (HRS) can be observed under either positive or negative sweep. The CAFM images for LRS and HRS directly exhibited evidences of the formation and rupture of filaments based on positive or negative voltage. Cu/VOx/Cu sandwiched structure exhibits a reversible resistive switching behavior and shows potential applications in the next generation nonvolatile memory field.
