Resistive Switching in $hbox{CeO}_{x}$ Films for Nonvolatile Memory Application |
| |
Abstract: | $hbox{Al}/hbox{CeO}_{x}/hbox{Pt}$ devices with nonstoichiometric $hbox{CeO}_{x} (hbox{1.5} ? x ? hbox{2})$ films were fabricated. The unique resistive switching (RS) behaviors for resistive random access memory applications, including stable and sharp bipolar RS processes and a multilevel and self-stop set process without current compliance and without excessive requirement on a high-voltage electroforming process, were demonstrated. A multifilament switching model based on the distribution characteristics of oxygen vacancies in $hbox{CeO}_{x}$ films is proposed to explain the observed RS behaviors. |
