Abstract Resistive switching with a self-rectifying feature is one of the most effective solutions to overcome the crosstalk issue in a crossbar array. In this paper, a memory device based on Pt/TiOx/W structure with self-rectifying property is demonstrated for write-once-read-many-times (WORM) memory application. After programming, the devices exhibit excellent uniformity and keep in the low resistance state (LRS) permanently with a rectification ratio as high as 104 at 1 V. The self-rectifying resistive switching behavior can be attributed to the Ohmic contact at TiOx/W interface and the Schottky contact at Pt/TiOx interface. The results in this paper demonstrate the potential application of TiOx-based WORM memory device in crossbar arrays.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
