摘要: A CMOS compatible RRAM device with TaN/Ta/TaO$_{x}$/TaN structure was proposed for nonvolatile memory applications. Excellent resistive switching characteristics, including low operation voltages ($< 1$ V), low operation current (< 100 μA), good programming/erasing endurance ($> 10^{6}$ cycles), satisfactory uniformity, and reliable data retention, have been demonstrated. Furthermore, all of the elements in the fabricated TaN/Ta/TaO$_{x}$/TaN devices are highly compatible with modern CMOS manufacturing process, showing promising application in the next generation of nonvolatile memory.
