Resistive memories based on the resistive switching effect have promising application in the ultimate nonvolatile data memory field. This brief review focuses on the resistive switching phenomena in the perovskite oxide heterostructures, which originate from the modulation of the interface properties due to the movement of the oxygen vacancies and the ferroelectric polarization. Many recent experiments have been carried out to demonstrate the role of the oxygen vacancies by controlling the content of the oxygen vacancies in the oxide heterostructures with plenty of oxygen vacancies. The important role of the ferroelectric polarization was also carefully confirmed by analyzing the relationship between the current–voltage and polarization–voltage loops in the ferroelectric oxide heterostructures. The physical mechanisms have been revealed based on the developed numerical model.

AbstractWe have investigated charge transport properties with current perpendicular to the plane across the interface between a Cr-doped SrZrO3 perovskite oxide film and different top electrode metals. The measured resistance showed a wide variation depending on the top electrode metal, and suggested the interfacial properties with respect to contacting electrode metal kinds are responsible for the change in I-V characteristics (IVCs). The observed I-V curves were modeled with the equation I(V) = aV+bV2, where the variation of a was related to the work function of the metal whereas the variation of b was related to the oxygen affinity of the metal, consistent with space charge limited conduction through a defected interface. Additionally, the resistive switching was attributed to a change in both the a and the b coefficients. We speculate that voltage (or current) induced vacancy motion can account for a change in trap density in the oxide near the metallic electrical contact, and thus trapping or detrapping of charge carriers, showing the conductivity modulation across the junction.

Introduction: Intrinsic resistive switching properties of Pt/TiO2-x/TiO2/Pt crossbar memory array has been examined using the crossbar (4×4) arrays fabricated by using DC/RF sputtering under specific conditions at room temperature. Materials and Methods: The growth of filament is envisaged from bottom electrode (BE) towards the top electrode (TE) by forming conducting nano-filaments across TiO2/TiO2-x bilayer stack. Non-linear pinched hysteresis curve (a signature of memristor) is evident from I-V plot measured using Pt/TiO2-x /TiO2/Pt bilayer device (a single cell amongst the 4×4 array is used). It is found that the observed I-V profile shows two distinguishable regions of switching symmetrically in both SET and RESET cycle. Distinguishable potential profiles are evident from I-V curve; in which region-1 relates to the electroformation prior to switching and region-2 shows the switching to ON state (LRS). It is observed that upon reversing the polarity, bipolar switching (set and reset) is evident from the facile symmetric pinched hysteresis profile. Obtaining such a facile switching is attributed to the desired composition of Titania layers i.e. the rutile TiO2 (stoichiometric) as the first layer obtained via controlled post annealing (650oC/1h) process onto which TiO2-x (anatase) is formed (350oC/1h). Results: These controlled processes adapted during the fabrication step help manipulate the desired potential barrier between metal (Pt) and TiO2 interface. Interestingly, this controlled process variation is found to be crucial for measuring the switching characteristics expected in Titania based memristor. In order to ensure the formation of rutile and anatase phases, XPS, XRD and HRSEM analyses have been carried out. Conclusion: Finally, the reliability of bilayer memristive structure is investigated by monitoring the retention (104 s) and endurance tests which ensured the reproducibility over 10,000 cycles.
